Finally! I actually understand the difference between outputs and outcomes!

I attended the live webinar 'introduction to Outcomes' and it was really really helpful!

The toolkit was really easy to use.

We worked through the toolkit as a team and have now developed our draft fundraising plan ready to go to committee!

I have been sucessful with my first funding bid!

I attended the Fundraising from Grant Makers (live) webinar and I would say it’s given me the confidence to just apply for stuff. I had no experience in bid writing and now I just received my first £1,000 grant!
