Community Impact Bucks can offer advice to any non-profit organisation in Buckinghamshire.

Our sustainability co-ordinator can advise organisations in their strategy for long term funding and general support for voluntary and community organisations in other areas such as recruitment, vetting & barring, marketing, partnership working, governance, training and general signposting. We use a computer database called FunderFinder to enable voluntary groups to identify possible sources of funding. Guidance can also be provided in creating business plans, filling in application forms and developing a good case to present to prospective funders.

If you would like help specifically with funding, please fill in the downloadable form available by clicking here and return it via email to the address on the bottom of the form.

To help you fill in this form we have prepared some guidance notes available by clicking here, please read them before attempting to fill in the form.

The funding advice form is a Microsoft Word document. If you are unable to open Word files you can download the OpenOffice suite of programs completely free of charge by clicking the OpenOffice logo below. The guidance notes are in Adobe portable document format (.pdf), if you are unable to open this document click the link to the Adobe reader download site.

                                                                                 

We are also able to offer information and advice in the use of computers, social media and information technology for voluntary and community groups.

We are a member of the County wide Bucks Funding Group. This enables us to utilise the knowledge and experiences of funding officers from all over Bucks.

See the Bucks Funding Group website for more information.
