Funding Focus was a standout funding event, and we want to extend a huge thank you to everyone who helped make it such a success.

Our speakers, panellists and stall holders shared invaluable insight, while participants brought energy, curiosity and a real spirit of collaboration. The day left us inspired and reminded of the strength of the voluntary and community sector when we come together to learn, connect and support one another. In many ways, the day felt like a celebration of the work our community organisations do, and the people and communities they serve.

We would also like to express our heartfelt thanks to our colleagues at Richmond CVS, Merton Connected, Community Action Sutton, Wandsworth Care Alliance and Croydon Voluntary Action, with whom we had the pleasure of organising this event. Working alongside them has been both a joy and an honour.
