Micro Grants

We are applying for further funding to continue our journey to help raise awareness in the Rochdale borough. As a new group we are still building up our financial resources, and we would like to apply for funding to:

• Host two further coffee mornings in Rochdale borough (venue to be confirmed). The coffee mornings will provide women with an opportunity to come and hear from Dr Anita Sharma and other women who suffer from the condition. We will provide tea, coffee and other refreshments free of charge. It will also form part of a much-needed support network.
   
• To raise further awareness, we would like all our volunteers to receive a branded t-shirt and hoodie – so they are easily identifiable at any events we host in the borough. The branded attire will also help us promote our group at other events we attend throughout the year. We are planning on attending as many local events as possible with our volunteers and a stall. 

We would use the grant towards paying for updating, and additional, training for the volunteers within our organisation. We are looking for and requesting quotes for certified training packages for, first aid training, paediatric first aid training and Epilepsy awareness training, for a volunteer group of ten people.

Any onsite training will be done as a group, with any online training to be done by volunteers in their own time, with all due dates for completion met.  

The first aid and paediatric first aid will be the prioritised training and, depending on costs of these, any remaining amounts will go to our epilepsy awareness training. Any excess amount will be covered by ourselves.
