This workshop will provide an excellent opportunity to gain more confidence and the skills you need to effectively manage a project and your grant.

Aim of the workshop

• Simply to make your life easier when delivering a project and keeping records for your funder.

• If you don’t manage your grant in the right way then you may end up spending many, many hours going round in circles and eventually have to give back some or all of your grant to your funder.

• If you get it right you will find it much easier to apply for more money and manage larger projects.

• Planning and delivering your project

• Understanding the administrative and financial requirements of a grant

• Setting up the files and folders you need to manage records effectively

• How to inform your funder of any changes required to your budget or delivery when things don’t go to plan

• Carrying out mid and post delivery evaluation and monitoring

• Tracking how much you have spent and how much you have left to spend

• Using your grant to lever in more users, volunteers, donations and funding.
