Funding the future: Diversifying income for impact

In today’s funding landscape, relying on just one or two income streams can leave voluntary organisations vulnerable. That’s why we’ve developed this practical training session focused on diversifying your income—giving you the tools and confidence to explore new, sustainable ways to fund your work.

Whether you’re a small community group or a larger charity, this session will introduce you to a range of funding opportunities beyond traditional grants. You’ll learn about:

• Crowdfunding and how to mobilise your supporters
• Corporate sponsorships and building partnerships with local businesses
• Platforms like easyfundraising, which turn everyday online shopping into donations

You’ll gain fresh ideas, real-world examples, and practical advice to help your organisation become more financially resilient and adaptable.

Join us to connect with other local groups, share experiences, and take the first step toward a stronger, more diverse funding strategy.
