Our upcoming session in Hamilton will be held at St Marys for All. You will have the chance to hear directly from both Funders and a local organisation working to raise funds.
The event is designed to help you cross the divide and connect with both funders and new peers, who can help you on your journey.
Kieran Daly, Head of Market Building at Social Investment Scotland will facilitate the session with the aim of creating an informal and accessible event.
Kieran and our guest speakers will examine the support and funds on offer to charities and social enterprises and will be ready to answer any questions you have.
You will be given a warm welcome with teas and coffees on arrival and the session will close with a light lunch, where you will have the chance to mix with funders and peers and make some new connections.this
