Money available from BOSF in 2006
Are you a “friends” group that needs more members?
Birmingham Community Empowerment Network (BCEN) provided us with a grant of £7,500 to share amongst BOSF members to use to get more people involved in their groups.
How does it work?
Each group completed a very
simple application form and attended a
workshop at which all the groups that
made an application decided
who should get what money.
At the end of the workshop all successsful groups walked away with a cheque -
no waiting.
We wanted to see applications that added to existing work, rather than new projects.
For example this money could:- pay for an event at which you celebrate your achievements
- get a newsletter printed or more newsletters than you can usually afford
- get a leaflet printed in colour
- hire a hall for a meeting rather than use someone’s house
- provide food to make a meeting inviting to more people
As we had no idea how many people
will apply for the money our suggestion
is to be flexible in your application:-
you may need to reduce what you
want to do or even increase what you
could do if fewer people apply.
There is a maximum of 6 months to spend the money and will need to show receipts (where relevant) and some evidence of your activity eg a copy of the newsletter or photos of the event.
The workshop was held on Tuesday 21st November 2006
Applications closed on Monday 13th November 2006.
