Securing sustainable funding is one of the biggest challenges facing community transport organisations and one of the questions CTA members ask us about most.
This two-hour session brings together funders and sector experts to introduce the range of funding opportunities available, from grants and public sector contracts to social investment and other sources of income.
You’ll hear directly from funders about the support they offer, what they look for in a strong application and how to make your organisation stand out. There will also be plenty of opportunities to ask questions, connect with funders and explore options that could help your organisation grow.
By the end of the session, you will:
- Understand the main types of funding available to community transport organisations and where to find them
- Hear directly from funders about what makes a strong application
- Have the opportunity to put your own questions to funders
- Leave with practical ideas for developing new services, investing in your fleet or strengthening your organisation’s long-term sustainability
Who is this session for?
Trustees, managers and anyone responsible for funding, income generation or business planning within a community transport organisation.
Join us to meet funders, ask your questions and explore the funding options that could take your organisation forward.
