Key Fundraising Messages and Top Tips for 2025
Jenny Raschbauer, Impact Project Lead, Derbyshire Voluntary Action
With the recent cuts to Derbyshire County Council discretionary funding, charities, community groups, and voluntary organisations across Derbyshire face an unprecedented challenge. In direct response to this we delivered a Fundraising Masterclass Training & Tea series. This series was designed to equip VCSE groups with the tools and confidence to unlock new funding opportunities, align their missions with funder priorities, and craft standout applications that make an impact. Join us to hear from Jenny the highlights from the training and pick up some tips.
