Funding

The search to secure funding is the key to survival for many voluntary and community groups, so at ESCVYS we support our members with the latest information, advice and guidance.

We send out a regular e-bulletin with the latest funding news to our members and offer support around writing your finding application. You can also search our Funding Directory below. This includes a range of grant making trusts and timelimited funds, and is updated regularly.

Other organisations in East Sussex which offer further help in finding funding or writing bids include:

• Rother Voluntary Action
• Hastings Voluntary Action
• 3VA (Eastbourne, Wealden & Lewes)
• East Sussex County Council Funding

For useful data and statistics about communities in East Sussex to support funding bids visit  East Sussex in Figures where they have general data and data on young people specifcially.

If you are looking for some shorter and easier application forms to get started or have a new project idea we would recommend trying the following schemes:

• Awards for All
• Sussex Community Foundation
• Henry Smith Charity
