On Monday 15th April 2019 BBC Children in Need will be hosting a 1:1 funding surgery for representatives from organisations who are considering applying for a main grant, of over £10,000 per year and for up to 3 years.
If you have previously been unsuccessful in applying for funding this would be a useful opportunity to get some feedback from a grants officer.
If you would like to book an appointment to chat with a Grants Officer please contact Siobhán McKenna at siobhan.mckenna@bbc.co.uk or on 028 9033 8221. The meetings will be held in BBC Broadcasting House, Ormeau Avenue, Belfast. Appointments will be available between 9am-5pm.
BBC Children in Need’s vision is that every child has a safe, happy and secure childhood and the chance to reach their potential. We seek to realise this vision by supporting, promoting and publicising work that addresses the challenges that children and young people face and work that builds their skills and resilience.
Right now BBC Children in Need is funding almost 200 projects in towns and villages all over Northern Ireland with grants totalling over £10m. These are projects working with children and young people who need a bit of support in order to get the best out of life. They may be sick or living in poverty; they may have been abused or neglected or have a disability or be dealing with other challenges that the groups we fund can help them to overcome.
This year because of the generosity of everyone who donates to the charity, over £3.5m will be spent on projects working with disadvantaged children and young people here in Northern Ireland. We want to ensure that everyone who is involved in this work, no matter how small your project, knows about the opportunity to secure some funding to support positive outcomes for children and young people in your area.
