‘Practical Steps to Better Grant Fundraising’

In-Person Workshop in Central London | Beginner Level |25 spaces available

In today’s funding landscape defined by rising demand, tighter resources, and intense competition for grants, having a clear, strategic approach to fundraising isn’t just helpful, it’s essential. According to NCVO’s The Road Ahead 2025, charities face a “year of the big squeeze”, with falling public donations, surging grant applications, and many funders rethinking their giving models. For smaller, local organisations especially, improving grant success rates can make the difference between surviving and thriving.

This beginner-level workshop is designed to help small charitable organisations sharpen their approach to grants – especially if you’re juggling fundraising with other responsibilities or just starting out.

Interactive practical experience – Led by experienced fundraiser Rosie Oldham, you’ll get practical, hands-on experience to help you:

• Identify and evaluate suitable funders
• Write with your audience in mind
• Strengthen your application with clear logic models
• Use storytelling and impact language that sticks
• Improve your real-life applications with direct feedback
