PCP Training

Please note the following two additions to our training programme:

Full Cost Recovery: 17 & 24 September, 9.30am - 1pm
Cost - £35 for PCP members (booking deadline 10 September)

Most funders will only fund one-off projects, so who pays for your central or core costs? This course, which takes place over two mornings, introduces the fundamental principles of full cost recovery to help make your organisation more sustainable.

Participants will have the opportunity to try out the concepts in their own organisation and return to explore the issues in more detail.

Introduction to Funding Applications: 2 October, 9.30am - 1pm
Cost - £22 for PCP members, but free for youth groups/projects! (Booking deadline 25 September)
Aimed at those who are new to fundraising and filling out application forms, this is a beginners guide packed with practical tips to maximise your chances of success when applying for funding.
