Ladies of The Hearth, are you ready to turn your amazing community-based projects into reality?
Join Mavis Amankwah BEM, also known as The Funding Lady, a multi-award-winning serial entrepreneur, mother, grandma, and serious businesswoman with over 25 years of experience, for an empowering Lunch & Learn session. Mavis will not only share her own inspiring business journey but also guide you through the funding opportunities available to help you bring your projects to life.
Did you know that there is over £14 billion in grants available in the UK, and you don’t need to pay them back if you use them correctly for good causes? There are over 1,000 funders in the UK ready to support your initiatives. Whether you’re a CIC, social enterprise, social entrepreneur, or even starting from scratch, you can access funding that could help bring your vision to life. Find a friend or someone who shares your vision, and together, you can start a movement, make a difference, and secure the funding to help.
What you’ll learn:
The variety of funding opportunities available to support your community-driven initiatives.
How to secure grants ranging from £5k to £100k.
How to set up your projects to be eligible for funding.
Mavis own 25 year business journey and how you can apply her insights to your own ventures.
Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from a seasoned entrepreneur (who is celebrating her silver jubilee in business this year) and access the funding that could elevate your projects and make a real impact in your community.
