Increased demand for funding has left grant-makers inundated with applications and competition is fierce. Understanding how to put together a great application will increase your chances of gaining the funding you need.

How do you make a personal connection with the funder in your application? After all, they’re people too.

Telling a story is vital and being able to demonstrate how your work will make people’s lives better is an important element in a successful bid.

This Community First Yorkshire training, delivered by the Royal Literary Fund, is back for the autumn.

These sessions are all about helping you to reach new heights with your writing skills, tell the amazing story of your charity or community group, and illustrate the difference you’re making to the people and communities you help.
