Funding Central is for the whole voluntary and community sector, including social enterprises, and have relevant and up to date information on all funding opportunities aimed at helping voluntary and community organisations easily identify relevant funding streams at the touch of a button.

The site which goes beyond merely providing information will continue to grow and aims to build the capacity of organisations to successfully identify and apply for funding – whether in the form or a grant, grant in aid, contract or other financial opportunity.

Ben Kernighan, Deputy CEO at NCVO, said: “We are delighted to be hosting Funding Central. At this crucial time, Funding Central will be an invaluable website for organisations looking for up to date funding opportunities as well as offering advice and support.”

Angela Smith, minister for the Third Sector, said: “Funding Central will make it so much easier for third sector organisations to find and apply for the funding they need to make a difference.

"The advice and information that Funding Central provides will help save charities, voluntary groups and social enterprises time and money spent searching for funding opportunities. I hope it will also open up opportunities to more organisations, particularly smaller ones, that might have been deterred from seeking government support in the past because of the information wasn’t so readily available.”
