There will be a series of talks throughout the evening from representatives of funders with an introduction from Bishop John McDowell.
There will be some advice and guidance on the completion of applications by Fermanagh RCN who are based in Queen Street, Enniskillen.
They are currently running a series of free community events in various centres around Fermanagh in a project entitled “Building Positive Rural Communities”. These offer help to communities with fundraising, the basics of form-filling, good governance for organisations with help provided by experienced advisers and they welcome representatives from parishes who are visiting to further their knowledge of applications and grants.
