South Derbyshire CVS will be hosting their 2025 Funding Fair on Wednesday 5th November 2025 from 10:00am to 1:00pm.
What is the Funding Fair?
The Funding Fair is a unique opportunity for local voluntary, community and social enterprise organisations to meet face-to-face with funders in an informal setting. Whether you’re looking to start a new project, expand existing services, or simply want to understand what funding opportunities are available, this event is for you.
Who will be attending?
We’re thrilled to welcome representatives from some of the region’s leading funding bodies, including:
- Foundation Derbyshire
- East Midlands Airport
- The National Lottery Community Fund
- Severn Trent

This is your chance to have direct conversations with the people who make funding decisions, ask questions about their grant programmes, and get advice on making successful applications.
