17th February 2010: NI 7 Seeding Fund

This is a reminder that the NI 7 fund is still open – in fact it will be running next financial year too.  The fund is to help voluntary and community groups develop fundraising ideas, write tenders, develop trading ideas, update Business Plans, or similar ideas that will help them increase their income. Grants of up to £1,000 are available and the money can be used to cover costs such as:-

·         Extra hours for existing staff

·         Paying for other staff to cover the time spent by another member of staff

·         Paying for short term consultant to undertake the activity

·         Covering the expenses of volunteers
