VCAT FUNDING MARKET CHANGE OF DATES
The VCAT Funding Market will now be held on Tuesday 14th July, not Tuesday 30th June, as previously advertised. The venue remains the same, the St John's Centre, St John's Road, Old Trafford
Representatives from a variety of funders will be on hand to answer questions and give advice on funds available to local community and voluntary groups. VCAT staff will also be there to help with any aspect of the application process.
The event runs from 4pm to 7pm and is a drop-in session, so you do not have to stay all evening. If you are interested in attending please email craig@vcatrafford.org, so we know how many people to expect.
If you have friends or colleagues who may be interested in coming along, please print off this poster and hand it on to them.
