Meet The Funder - Canley

Organiser

Coventry City of Culture Trust

Artists, creatives and cultural organisations from across Coventry & Warwickshire can find out how to source vital funding from major regional and national bodies at an event in September.

The Coventry City of Culture Trust has organised a Meet the Funder event on Thursday, September 5th, Canley Community Centre, Prior Deram Walk, CV4 8FT to highlight the types of funding available and how to apply for them.

The drop-in market place event, which runs from 3pm to 6pm will include some of the largest trusts, foundations, advising and funding bodies from right across the country including Arts Council England, National Lottery Communities Fund and The Prince’s Trust.

Others attending include National Lottery Heritage Fund, the Coventry and Warwickshire Local Enterprise Partnership (CWLEP) Growth Hub, Heart of England Community Foundation and BBC Children In Need with many more organisations also represented at the event.

James Trowsdale, Head of Trusts and Foundations at Coventry City of Culture Trust, said it was an incredible opportunity for local artists, creatives and cultural and community organisations to find out the best places to source funding – and how best to do it.

He said: “We naturally have lots of groups and individuals contacting the Coventry City of Culture Trust about funding and we wanted to showcase the whole host of opportunities that are available.

“There are many sources of funding around arts and culture but they each have different criteria and, therefore, we believe this is a great way to highlight what is out there, who to go to and how best to do it.”

 

The event is a drop in event with opportunities to have initial one-to-one conversations with the following funders and advisers:

 

• Arts Council England

• BBC Children in Need

• CW LEP Growth Hub

• Groundwork West Midlands

• Heart of England Community Foundation

• National Lottery Communities Fund

• National Lottery Heritage Fund

• The Prince’s Trust

• Warwickshire County Council

• Coventry and Warwickshire CDA

• Library of Birmingham - Intellectual Property Centre

• In Kind Direct

We will be organising similar events of this calibre in the future. The next scheduled event will take place in Coventry on Tuesday 3rd December. Please sign up to our newsletter and follow us on social media @Coventry2021 on Facebook, twitter and Instagram to keep up to date with the latest news.

There is limited on street parking available at the venue, so we recommend that you use public transport. Buses 18 & 18a stop directly outside the Canley Community Centre.

Coventry City of Culture Trust works to ensure all events and activities are accessible to all, if you require any further support or guidance please do not hesitate to contact us before the event emailing info@coventry2021.co.uk or call 02476 998 221.

Client testimonials

Without the Growth Hubs help and assistance, we would never have been able to increase our sales & output and also grow our local business. With this help in purchasing new equipment we have expanded our operations and gained a new and increased customer base.

Nuneaton Roof Truss,

Over the past few years, Armstrongs has built up a fantastic relationship with Gary Thyeson from the Growth Hub. His advice on grants and funding has been really valuable to both Armstrongs and some of our clients. His knowledge of local business support has been helpful in signposting us to relevant support agencies as required. We look forward to working with Laura Delahunty moving forwards.

Armstrongs Accountancy LTD,

In the short time since first engaging with the Warwickshire Growth Hub we feel that Laura has understood our vision and has been so very supportive in linking us to the specialist teams who are now supporting us with training, finance and recruitment.

MES Systems Limited,

I have had an excellent experience working with Laura from the Growth Hub, from day one, she was taking detailed attention to my concerns and ideas. She was able to put me in contact with different organisations and people to find out answers to my questions and help me to solve some inquiries I was having. I feel this support definitely had a positive impact in my plans.

It’s been a fantastic inaugural eight months for the TalentTech Recruitment team and, although the reality of setting up and running a company can be a somewhat daunting experience, we have been extremely grateful for the superb help, advice and guidance given to us along our journey by Gavin Barnett and the team at CW Growth Hub. Gavin’s introductions to both Warwick & Coventry Universities and his wider business network have been absolutely invaluable.

TalentTech Recruitment LTD,

For many individuals out there, it is very hard to figure out ways and know which direction to go when it comes to setting up a business. The challenges of taking your idea and bringing it to life and not knowing where to go and who to speak to for advice. it can get very frustrating..

King of Saffron LTD,

This grant [which we received with the help of the Growth Hub and Coventry City Council] will really help us get on track for business growth and succeed with our vision. Personally, I would also like to thank the team for supporting me through the grant application process. You have been very approachable and attentive throughout.

Exeter Analytical (UK) Limited,

Thank you for the comprehensive and professional guidance

Burbidge & Son Ltd,

Over the years since the Growth Hub was set up we have habitually gone to our Account Manager as a one-stop shop for all business-related information.  It has been a really convenient way of finding suppliers, advisors and, on one occasion, we even asked for assistance with finding customers.  We are invited to a wide range of business events including business development workshops, Brexit roundtable discussions, seminars on various topics and have also been asked to speak at some events.  When we have needed additional information, for example, finding finance sources or help with selecti
