Bid Writing, Fundraising and Charities

Tuesday 28th May 2024 – 9.30am – 11.30am
The Pavilion Room at The Alnwick Garden

 

This month our Grow Business Club morning at the beautiful Alnwick Garden delves into the world of bid writing, funding and running a charitable organisation. A chance to share knowledge and help each other overcome challenges. This month we’ll be joined by Mark Brassell, CEO of the Garden and our Strategic Head of Community & Education to share their experiences as well as our friends from The Great North Air Ambulance Service, Motor Neurone Disease Association and Expian, specialising in bid writing and tenders.

We created Grow to help achieve palatable objectives, overcome collective challenges and help each other thrive in Northumberland and the wider North East. With a unique circuit style set up, our club offers an opportunity to meet, network and chat to everyone in the room to discuss important themes.
