On the 5th December, BBC Children in Need is hosting an advice day for
voluntary and community groups who wish to apply for non-statutory
funding for work with children and young people, in association with a
range of other funders and development agencies from across the East
Midlands region.

Delegates will be able to speak to funders about their funding
opportunities and how to apply, hear from young people themselves about
what they think makes a good project, and attend up to three seminar
sessions on topics groups will have to demonstrate knowledge and
understanding of in order to submit strong applications for funding for
work with children and young people. There will also be the opportunity
to meet other groups working with children and young people across the
region to discuss your practice and share ideas.

Attendance at the event and seminars is free of charge, but will
hopefully prove very useful when putting together future funding
applications, either for BBC Children in Need or other funders. Lunch
and refreshments will be provided.

We would welcome attendance at the event from groups who work with
children and young people and are thinking about applying for
non-statutory funding, and who are based in Nottinghamshire,
Leicestershire, Derbyshire, and Rutland. The event will be held at the
Castle Cavendish Business Centre in Radford, Nottingham. The day will
start at 09:45 and finish at around 16:00.

If you would like to attend please contact Kathryn Kendall at
kathryn.kendall@bbc.co.uk , who will
send you a booking form. Please note that places are limited and will be
allocated on a first come first served basis.
