Networks of Funding Advisers in the South West
Do you need to get in touch with the people who give advice on funding and investment, free at the point of delivery, to voluntary and community groups across the South West?
Informal networks of Funding Advisers are now in place in all parts of the region. Meeting regularly to hear from funders, for mutual support and to share best practice, these networks can quickly spread the word on funding, investment and development issues through the voluntary and community sector at local level.
Click on the links below to reach their websites or to contact them by email. Please give your location, contact details and, very briefly, the nature of your enquiry. And please note that these contacts support their networks in a purely voluntary capacity.

These nine networks also need a regional voice, and this is supplied by George, the South West Funding Advisers Forum. This is currently a steering group made up of representatives from each county network of funding advisers.
