Funding Support
Funding for the VCSE Organisations
Aspire NN is dedicated to empowering voluntary, community, and social enterprise (VCSE) organisations to grow stronger, more sustainable, and more confident in securing the resources and funding that they need.
Our experienced team provides funding advice and access to funding opportunities, as well as to practical support to help organisations develop their skills and strengthen their operations.
How We Help
Grant Finder Sessions
Our staff guide organisations through the complex world of funding by hosting regular Grant Finder sessions. These hands-on workshops help groups identify relevant funding sources, understand eligibility criteria, and learn how to write stronger, more effective bids. Check our News & Events pages for the latest session dates.
Funding Fairs
Aspire hosts and supports regional funding fairs that bring together funders, charities, and social enterprises. These events offer opportunities to connect directly with funding bodies, learn about new grant programmes, and build valuable partnerships within the sector.
Back Office Support
We understand that running a VCSE organisation involves a lot of behind-the-scenes work. Aspire provides funded flexible back office support including help with policies, governance, administration, and reporting so that local organisations can focus on making a real difference in their communities.
Funding to Build Capacity and Confidence
By combining expert funding advice with practical support, Aspire NN helps VCSE organisations ensure they have the knowledge, tools, and access to fund resources that can deliver lasting social impact.
