Article: Funding Advice Article Body Grants are an important form of funding that enable voluntary and community groups to provide services that make a difference to communities and people's lives. They offer opportunities to undertake activity that cannot generate income to cover running costs. Grants are changing as accessing funding and fundraising is becoming increasingly more difficult. Therefore, we aim to be a central resource for voluntary/community groups and businesses in Barnsley, giving you that extra help and support you need. We aim to identify and respond to new and emerging community needs by providing innovative and direct support to organisations across Barnsley, helping them effecitively carry out their work. Over the different pages you will find advice on writing bids, accessing funding and the local support that is available to you. If you have any comments or questions related to these pages or external funding please email fundingadvice@barnsley.gov.uk
