Funding News Issue 111 November 2007 The delayed Round Two of the Big Lottery Fund Advice Plus programme will open in November. There is £20 million available across the nine England regions. The funding will support projects that raise awareness of, increase access to, or improve existing advice services. In this round BIG is inviting proposals where third sector legal advice services collaborate with other advice services in their local area. It will only fund projects focusing on legal rights and responsibilities. Organisations that specialise in advice and those that offer a wide range of services can both be supported. Charities, credit unions, self-help groups, social and community enterprises and community-based cooperatives are all eligible to apply. Funding is available from £10,000 up to £500,000 lasting up to five years. You can apply for capital and revenue costs including overheads. Through Advice Plus BIG want to see expert, consistent and sustainable advice services that are provided for a wide range of people. To achieve this, projects should link with or develop local, regional and national plans or partnerships. Projects should meet one or more of the following outcomes: - People have better access to advice services so that they can get the information, guidance and support they need - People who need advice get better services that help them overcome or avoid disadvantage and improve their lives - Organisations that give advice, and organisations that support them, to have more influence on relevant policy and practice - Organisations that give advice get better support that helps them to work more effectively. BIG will be holding seminars in Yorkshire where they will discuss the main features of Advice Plus and offer Q&A sessions. The seminars will only be open to those groups who are eligible to apply for Advice Plus. To be eligible, you must answer a set of questions on the Yorkshire and Humber section of the Big Lottery Fund website or email: enquiries.yh@biglotteryfund.org.uk Deadline: See website in November Contact: Big Lottery Fund Telephone: 0845 410 2030 Email: general.enquiries@biglotteryfund.org.uk Website: http://www.biglotteryfund.org.uk/ NEWS News from South Yorkshire Community Foundation The Local Network Fund for Children and Young People has now closed.

Approaching companies for money or other support is a possible fundraising source that relatively few voluntary and community groups use. Attracting support from appropriate companies doesn’t mean that you have to change what you do or how you do it. You may just have to ‘sell’ yourselves in a slightly different way. Many companies support good causes and choose the ones they want to help. Some larger companies have budgets or schemes for supporting community projects in local areas. Companies support voluntary groups for a variety of reasons. Often they give to good causes as part of a marketing strategy to generate goodwill, to help to market their goods and services, or to develop a particular image for their company. Companies are generally interested in causes that are relevant to their business. This could be a geographical link or a product link. For instance a baby care product company might support a parents’ network. Companies can give help in a number of ways: Non-monetary donations · Gifts in kind - Companies give away products, materials or old office equipment. For example, a timber yard might donate wood for an adventure playground. Firms upgrading their computers sometimes give away their old ones. Some companies may also offer free or subsidised office space or photocopying services. · Advice and support - Free specialist advice or services can be available from local firms such as solicitors, accountants or architects. · Employee volunteering - Some companies and statutory agencies have schemes that allow their staff to spend time volunteering with voluntary organisations. Monetary donations · Payroll giving - This is also called ‘Give as you Earn’, where employees give a regular amount from their pay packet to a charity. · Donations - The company donates cash to your group as a ‘good cause’. · Sponsorship - Sponsorship differs from a donation in that the company gets something in return for its support, usually in the form of advertising or endorsement of a product or service. This could be sponsoring an event, activity or publication. How to Approach Companies – some tips · When you approach companies, it is important to remember that their main concern is to make a profit - not to give to charity. Do your homework and target companies who you think may be interested in your cause, for example because you know someone there, or they are based in your area, or there is a link between what you do and their area of business. · Don’t send circular letters to a random list of companies. Tailor your letter to the individual company to make them aware what they would be getting out of it. Also, find out the name of the person who is responsible for charitable donations by telephoning first. · If you write a letter requesting support, make it as concise as possible, and be specific about what you are asking them for. Companies need to be able to see what you want and why they should support you at a glance. · Some companies such as B&Q and Dixons run established donation schemes so check company websites first to find out if the companies you are considering have a formal scheme. · It may take some time to get a response, so plan well in advance. Large companies or chains may have to get permission from a head office, or feed the request through a particular committee. · Remember to say thank you if you do get help and acknowledge their support in your annual report or newsletter.

Website: http://www.syfab.org.uk Company Giving in Practice Sheffield Royal Society for the Blind (SRSB) are a registered charity supporting blind and partially sighted people in Sheffield since it was founded in the 19th century. The Society carries out different types of fundraising, including community events, individual giving and applying to charitable trusts. Sue Coggin told us about the ways they receive support from companies: As well as financial help I am always looking at ways to work with the local community and companies to raise awareness of our charity. Here are some of the ways we work with companies: Recycling We collect stamps, cartridges, phones for recycling and raise around £200 per year. Doing this not only raises money, but also helps the environment and creates local links; for example, we collect from companies, libraries and schools. Collection boxes We place these in local companies and shops. They are a great opportunity to raise our profile and make initial contacts. Many shops will also display your fundraising poster and some companies will take part in events for you. One of the most sustainable fundraisers for SRSB has been our spare change appeal. Clients and supporters have a small home collection box in wish they save all that heavy copper for charity. The boxes only cost 20 pence each but in some we have received over £20. Every penny does count. Goods in Kind Local companies have been very supportive in donating goods for our charity. We have received office equipment from a local specialised moving company and city centre solicitor. A fancy dress shop donated items for a fundraising event and local supermarkets have donated water for outdoor events. We always send a thank you letter and acknowledge a company’s donation in our newsletter. Staff time Often a company will allow its staff to support a charity in company time. It is showing their commitment to the local community as well as helping the charity. John Lewis, for example, provides a Golden Jubilee Trust Secondment for charities. This involves a partner from the store placed in a local chary for up to six months to help on a particular project. John Lewis still pay the secondee and provide replacement staff cover in store so no extra pressure is put on the rest of the department. Other companies will provide a number of staff for events; Westfield Health sent staff to help with a blind bowlathon. Match Funding Again companies will often match fund any amount of hours given as a volunteer and any personal fundraising done by staff. For example one of our volunteers did 20 hours work in the community in the evening and her employers gave the equivalent amount in a financial donation. I think what these examples show is that companies can donate to your organisation in lots of different ways other than through a specific grant. We have found that companies like doing this because they are still making a significant contribution to the work of your charity, whilst limiting their financial burden. Future case studies The Funding News editorial team are always on the lookout for interesting case studies to feature in Funding News. We need examples that teach other groups lessons and show useful fundraising tips and these don’t always need to be ‘success’ stories. For next month we are particularly looking to cover case studies from one of the following areas; · Sports groups · ‘When fundraising doesn’t go to plan’ – overcoming adversity. If you are interested in your group being featured in Funding News, please get in touch.
