Ged Simpson, Funding Advisor at LCVS said: “Over the last few months in particular we have seen a spike in the demand for advice, with lots of different local organisations asking us to identify funding sources, review draft funding applications and look at longer term fund raising plans.”
As well as working with major organisations and charities, the team have also helped over 1,000 grassroots community groups and charities within Merseyside, enabling them to access small grants to run projects and activities.
