This online session is aimed at community buildings and village halls and will guide you through the essential steps to take before applying for funding for a capital project.

Capital funding is funding for physical assets and major improvements to buildings or land. This includes projects such as roof repairs or replacements, heating or electrical systems, accessibility improvements, extensions or refurbishments, energy-efficiency measures (such as solar panels), or the purchase of large items of fixed equipment.

It is different from smaller revenue funding, which covers ongoing costs such as activities, staffing, or day-to-day running expenses.

The session will cover:

• Understanding the key steps to take before applying for capital funding
• Identifying legal and regulatory issues that may impact a capital funding application
• Assessing your building’s readiness and gathering essential documentation
• Developing an action plan to prepare a strong capital funding application

This event will take place online, and joining instructions will be sent prior to the session.

Attendance is free, although booking in advance is required to secure places.
