Thu, 4 May 2023 10:30am – 14:30pm
Tramshed Community Hub Digby Street, E2 0LS
What is the purpose?
The council is launching its new Small Grants Programme in November 2023. We are organising a workshop for the voluntary community sector organisations to help co-design the grants process to ensure it meets the needs of the residents, the voluntary and community sector, and the council.
What will happen in the workshop?
In the workshop participants will take part in small group discussions to come up with ideas on how best to:
- Promoting the Small Grants so the VCS is aware of them
- Providing all the information the VCS need to apply
- Creating an easy to use and accessible application form
- Inform groups on whether or not they’ve been successful
- How to monitor grants so the council gets the information it needs and it is not too burdensome for the VCS
Following the meeting the Council will develop a plan for the Small Grants application process and inform the participants of this workshop on how their ideas have been used.
Who is the workshop for?
The workshop is for voluntary and community sector organisations who:
- Operate in Tower Hamlets
- Have an income of under £150,000 per annum
We hope that a diverse range of groups attend from different areas of the borough and who work with all sections of the community.
What will be provided?
On top of the opportunity to have your say in shaping the new Small Grants Process, we will be providing refreshments and lunch for those attending.
