Join the ALLIANCE’s Children and Young People Community of Practice for a practical and interactive session designed to build your confidence, strengthen your applications and improve your chances of success facilitated by Impact Funding Partners.
This session will provide participants with an overview and lots of practical advice and is aimed at:
- Participants with limited experience in applying for funding in the children and young people’s sector

- What assessors are looking for when assessing the different elements of your funding application – and the common mistakes to avoid
