EUROPEAN FUNDING NETWORK
Obtaining funding in this current climate is proving challenging for any voluntary organisation, so it is wise to look at as many different avenues as possible. There’s a big pool of funding available to organisations from the European Union (EU).
EU funding is a source that can often be overlooked, often being seen as an overly bureaucratic protracted process, which could potentially waste time and resources. But with the right amount of time and planning devoted to the process, it could work out as an invaluable source of funding.
