She will help you:

• Understand what organisations and projects can be funded
• Understand how applications are assessed
• Learn the common reasons for rejection
• How to consult beneficiaries about the plans and their implementation
• How to ensure your project is properly costed out
• Understand how Awards for All can be used to pilot work which can then progress to Reaching Communities applications
