**Business in the Community NI and the Northern Ireland Environment Link have teamed
up to provide fundraising advice to community and voluntary groups working in the
heritage sector.**

access funding and support from the private sector and is part of the Heritage Lottery
Fund Catalyst Umbrella Programme “Investing in Northern Ireland’s Heritage.” The
project is designed to improve the fundraising capacity of the heritage sector in
Northern Ireland.

The series of half-day workshops and master classes will be delivered across Northern
Ireland from November 2014 until June 2015 and will cover:
