We’re pleased to announce the launch of our new Weekly Funding Advice Drop-in Sessions!
We understand that navigating the world of funding can be challenging. That’s why we’re adding a regular time every week to provide free, personalised guidance to individuals and organisations seeking our funding in Chippenham.
What to Expect
Starting 11th September, one of our team will be available every Wednesday from 10am to 3pm at Chippenham Community Hub. Whether you’re an individual in need of welfare, education or wellbeing funding support, a local group with a project or event you need help with, or a not-for-profit organisation looking to expand your impact, we’re here to help. These sessions are designed to be informal, welcoming, and tailored to your needs.
Who Can Benefit?
Our drop-in sessions are open to:-
– Individuals on a low income who are residents of Chippenham seeking funding support for things like food provision, white goods (fridges, washing machines, etc.), furniture, mobility aids, debt relief, emergency supplies, funeral costs, education resources or course fees and travel.
– Local groups aiming to make a difference for Chippenham residents
– Not-for-profit organisations or charities focused on enhancing community wellbeing in Chippenham.
