INTRODUCTORY OVERVIEW

How do I find out what funding is available and how to apply for it?

EU funding available will vary depending on what geographical area you are in and what kinds of activity you are carrying out. The best starting point for finding this out is you regional voluntary sector European Office and these are listed at the end of this overview. How to apply will also vary as it depends whether you are applying through a co-financing agency (like Job Centre plus or the Learning and Skills Council), a local authority programme or other partnership, or as a stand alone project. General information on the process is available on the ESF website in the ‘Key resources’ section. But identify the fund you want to access before exploring this in detail as the detail of application processes will vary depending on which agency you are applying through.
