WANTED – APPLICATIONS FOR GRANTS!

Charities in the Dundee area are invited to discuss their funding needs at a surgery being organised by Lloyds TSB Foundation for Scotland.

The event is taking place on Wednesday 30th July 2008 at Dundee Voluntary Action, 10 Constitution Road, Dundee DD1 1LL. 45 minute appointments for a one-to-one consultation with an Assessor are available between 11:00am and 6:30pm and should be booked in advance. Disabled access is available at this venue, and when making an appointment please mention that this would be required.

The consultation is an opportunity for representatives of registered charities to discuss potential projects towards which the Foundation may be able to provide financial support. Foundation representatives will be able to give you tips on filling in the application form and advice on the kind of projects that we fund.

“The Foundation is the largest independent Scottish grant-making Trust. We are very keen to support charities where our grants will make a real difference. The Foundation has an ongoing commitment to investing in the Scottish community and we like to support charities which enable people to play a fuller role in the community”, said Andrew Muirhead, the Foundation’s Chief Executive. He added: “We are always keen to encourage a wide range of local charities to come and discuss their projects with us, and these consultations prove invaluable to charities looking for help and advice prior to making an application to the Foundation.”
