Funding Fair Update

Bfunded Bradford District Funding Fair - Thanks to everyone who attended, it was a great success!

We had nearly 300 people attend the Bfunded Funding Fair on 9th October at St Georges Hall. There was a really lively atmosphere and lots of networking going on during the day. People came from across the District, central Bradford, Ilkley, Shipley, Keighley, even as far as Leeds and Halifax. Thank you to everyone who took the time to drop-in and find out more about funding opportunities, we really appreciate your support. We gave out evaluation forms on the day, if you didn't return yours and would like to, it can be posted to Sarah Moss, Strategic Funding Officer (bfunded), Keighley Voluntary Services, 135 Skipton Road, Keighley, West Yorkshire BD21 3AU.
