There’s now just over THREE WEEKS until Falkirk Funders Fayre 2023, and this week, we’ve been focusing on talking about why you should book your FREE place in advance.
The Funders Fayre takes place on Tuesday 7th March at the Bowhouse Community Centre, 130 Bowhouse Road, Grangemouth, FK3 0EU, from 10am, and open to all local third sector groups and organisations.
While drop-in is available on the day, we would encourage people to book their place in advance. But why is that?
Why Book in Advance?
- Avoid the queues: Falkirk Funders Fayre can be a very busy event, and booking in advance means less time at reception.
- Quicker access: our team will be there at reception on the day, and can help you through the sign-in quickly and smoothly.
- See the lunchtime presentation: each year, one of our funders gives a dedicated presentation on their grant programmes. This year, the Scottish Land Fund will be speaking about their support and funding around community ownership – and places are only available by booking in advance.
- Refreshments: letting us know you’re coming helps us make sure the pop-up café (provided by local social enterprise Community Focus Scotland CIC) is fully stocked with tea, coffee and other treats.
- More time with funders: most importantly, thanks to a quicker sign-in, you can spend more time speaking with our funders about your group, project, or applications!
