You are here Previous News: Funding South West supports 'George'
Research carried out for Funding South West (Funding Advice Services in the South West, Red Door Associates, 2004) found that 'the need and resources for funding advice is growing . . . more people flagged up the lack of capacity, the growing demand, and the inability to meet it, than any other issue.'
Funding advisers now have their own support networks in a number of counties. Members of these networks want to work together to further their shared interests, and a steering group has been formed to set up a region-wide network - GEORGE. Full membership will be open to all individuals who give funding advice free at the point of delivery to voluntary sector organisations and individuals, with membership also open to organisations. Associate membership is also planned for professional fundraisers and consultants. GEORGE will work for the recognition of funding advice workers as the interface between the community, the voluntary sector, and funders; funders want to give funds appropriately; communities want to access funds; advice workers are the vital intermediary to lead the one to reach the other, and to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of everyone's objectives.
