What’s new in WCVA funding?

 

In preparation for the upcoming launch of our new MAP (Multipurpose Application Portal) service to make applying for WCVA funding easier, we will be running a series of workshops across Wales to introduce the sector to it, which will also function as networking events for those who’d like to find out more about the Active Inclusion Fund and other funds that WCVA manages.

Three events will run in November: 

  • CAIS – Colwyn Bay: 18th November – book here
  • Bute Town Community Centre – Cardiff: 19th November – This event is now fully booked, please email 3set@wcva.cymru to put your name on a reserve list 
  • Parc Dewi Sant – Carmarthen: 20th November – book here 

They will run from 10am – 2.30pm. Attendees will also have the chance for one-to-one sessions with staff working on WCVA funds to find out more about them.
