Finding and securing funding and resources is a constant challenge for voluntary and community organisations, and is particularly challenging for smaller organisations.

Fundraising Plus aims to increase the income-generating capacity of voluntary and community organisations on both banks of the Humber by offering funding advice, plus much more.

We do this by offering your organisation a free Health Check. This involves running through a structured set of quesitons about the governance, management and resources of your organisation. This can highlight issues that may hinder your organisation's efforts to acquire funds, or can point to opportunities your organisation may not have considered.

Based on your health check, we can offer your organisation further support, information, training including funding searches and assistance with applications, or put you in touch with specialist help.

Fundraising Plus is a partnership between HANA and the four local CVS/Voluntary Action organisations. Your organisation should contact the Fundraising Plus project that serves the area where you work at one of the following:

	Hull CVS supports voluntary and community organisations in the City of Hull
	East Riding Voluntary Action Service (ERVAS) in the East Riding of Yorkshire
	Voluntary Action North East Lincs (VANEL) in North East Lincolnshire
	Voluntary Action North Lincs in North Lincolnshire
