Funding

In addition to the VCS grants there is also support for VCS organisations in the county to identify alternative funding opportunities for their organisation. Below are details of resources available to you to identify funding and support you in completing applications. In addition we will also endeavour to  keep this page updated with any details of funding available throughout the year.

Worcestershire Infrastructure Consortium (WIC)  

The Worcestershire Infrastructure Consortium often referred to as 'WIC' is made up of 12 organisations including the volunteering networks for each of the districts in the county. The aim of the consortium is "to make sure that all VCS organisations in Worcestershire can access the support and services they need to achieve their aims." As a result WIC offer support to groups to identify suitable funding opportunities and help in writing applications. If you would like to know more you can visit the website www.winc.org.uk or contact Hasnah Sheriff @  hasnahs@comfirst.org.uk

Grant Funder Finder

Worcestershire Partnership Funding Desk

The Funding Desk is a resource managed by the Funding and Resource Manager for the Worcestershire Partnership, Peter Mackenzie-Shaw (01905 728738) . This is a dedicated resource committed to providing organisations in Worcestershire with relevant, useful and accurate information on external funding streams (funding through trusts and grant-giving organisations).

The services provided by the Funding Desk have been specifically designed and tailored to assist organisations who in some way support the delivery of Worcestershire's Local Area Agreement. The work of the VCS is often crucial in delivery against the Local Area Agreement therefore this is a useful resource.
