Which organisations are eligible?
 
This project specifically supports VCSE sector organisations in Bristol who meet the Bristol Vision* or serve a Priority Community**. If you are unsure about these then we can talk this through with you. We may also be able to advise on other services if your organisation is not eligible.
 
Tips to consider before applying:
 
Timing – is this the right time to do this piece development work?
Strategy – does this fit in with an overall plan?
Resource – do you have the capacity to support a volunteer with this piece of work?
If you are not sure about these points then the Project Coordinator would be happy to discuss if it’s the right time or other services that may be suitable.
