A FUNDING workshop has been organised to help voluntary groups handle red tape.

Wigan and Leigh CVS has set up two free sessions for groups working with children and young people who want to apply for a grant from The Community Foundation Local Network Fund.

They will be in the Derby Room, Leigh Library, between 10am and noon on Monday, September 20, and between 3-5pm on the same day at The Sure Start Building, Mornington Road, Hindley.

The aim is to help voluntary and community groups working with under 17 year olds to understand and carry out the process of applying for a grant to maintain their projects.

To reserve a place contact Sue Pilling on 01942 514234, e-mail spilling@cvswl.org or write to Wigan and Leigh CVS, 93, Church Street, Leigh, WN7 1AZ.
