EVENT OVERVIEW
Grants provide an excellent way to secure funding without the pressure of repayment - but winning them requires knowing where to look and how to apply.
In this session, the Department for Business and Trade will cover the essentials: what grant funding is, why it exists, and the different types you can pursue. You’ll learn how to spot the right opportunities, determine your eligibility, and steer clear of common mistakes.
Next, you’ll explore how to craft persuasive proposals, manage grant-funded projects efficiently, and apply best practices to ensure long-term success. Whether you’re new to grants or aiming to refine your approach, this session will equip you with the knowledge and confidence to thrive.
