Turn your idea into a fundable project

You've got an idea that could make a real difference in your community, on campus, or beyond... But when it comes to finding money to get started, things suddenly feel confusing, intimidating, or out of reach.

Where do you even begin? Who actually funds student-led projects? And what does a 'good' grant application really look like?

This interactive workshop is designed to answer those questions and give you the confidence and tools to take your first real steps into funding.

Who is this workshop for?

This session is for students who are:

  • Thinking about starting a charity, community initiative, or social enterprise
  • Already running a project but unsure how to fund it
  • Curious about grants, but overwhelmed by the process
  • Involved in a student society or community group with a social purpose
  • Interested in social impact, but new to fundraising

What this workshop will help you do

Funding can feel mysterious, like there's a secret language only professionals understand. This workshop breaks it down in a clear, honest, and practical way, with a focus on early-stage, student-friendly funding.

This workshop supports not just your idea, but your future employability and leadership skills.
