Free fundraising support for Wales’ event community!

Event Wales have funded Richard Newton Consulting via the Sector Support Fund to deliver free to access fundraising workshops and coaching for Wales’ event community. 

Events offer social and economic development for Wales, and increasingly event organisers are facing challenges in raising the funds needed to deliver their event. From fetes to concerts, sports events to food festivals, agricultural shows to cultural celebrations, all are welcome on this scheme and learning is intended to help them develop their resilience. 

Richard Newton Consulting has over 13 years’ experience of supporting organisations across Wales to maximise their income. Workshops will cover subjects including individual giving, digital giving, sponsorship, creating cases for support and trust and foundation fundraising. 

Workshops, delivered digitally, will be free to access – and the full workshop programme is available to view / book here 

In addition to event organisers, FE/HE students on event management courses in Wales are eligible to join the workshops in order to enrich their learning. 

Running alongside the workshops is a programme of one-to-one coaching, support event organisers with fundraising issues that they have identified, further details are available here

 ·         That you organise an event(s) in Wales.

·         That your event delivers positive economic and social impacts to Wales.
