Funding - Conference / Briefings Fund

Local infrastructure organisations, and all INS members, will be able to access funds to attend conferences and briefings of relevance to other INS members and frontline organisations such as funding and policy briefings, conferences etc.

The funds will be given out on the understanding that those attending write a short report and provide information which can then be circulated to partners who can then cascade it down to other organisations.

Applicants can claim for conference fees (if applicable), travel costs, accommodation costs (if necessary) etc. Individual applications to this fund will be processed and approved by the Project Manager and Co-ordinator up to £250. Over this sum will require Project Steering Group approval.

Typical events / conferences include:

• DSC Charity Fair in London (April 2010)
• NAVCA National Conference
• Volunteering England Annual Conference
• National Youth Agency Annual Conference
• National Council for Youth Services Annual Conference
• The COMPACT National Conference
• COVER regional events
• Institute for Learning Regional Briefings
• EECETT (East of England Centre for Excellence in Teacher Training) meetings
• NIACE E-Guides Annual Conference etc.

	This project is managed by the Infrastructure Network Suffolk (formerly known as One Voice Suffolk), and is funded by the Big Lottery Fund
