NICVA's Fundraising Advice staff will be providing training and consultancy support across Northern Ireland in the coming weeks and months. These are some of the dates already scheduled but we are looking to add more. The fundraising advice team are open to offers from venues/organisations wishing to host clinics.

The following training sessions and clinics are those that are currently planned. NICVA is open to offers from other areas wishing to hold one of the free fundraising advice clinics (see details at end).

Fundraising Advice Clinics

Fundraising Advice Clinics generally run from 9.00am to 5.00pm in community venues across Northern Ireland. Please contact NICVA on 028 9087 7777 or email neil.irwin@nicva.org. We like to hold clinics on a Tuesday but Wednesdays (and other days) may also be available.

We would be very interesting in hearing from areas that have not currently benefitted from a fundraising advice clinic.

Help us fill in this Map

We are looking to cover all of Northern Ireland with fundraising advice. This is a map of where we have been recently and where we are going soon: 

We would particularly welcome local urban or rural community infrastructure organisations as hosts for our clinics and can work on joint promotion.

Venues need to be able to accommodate two meeting spaces (small separates rooms up to 5 people or two areas in a larger room). The venues also need to be able to provide wifi. NICVA may be able to contribute to cost of venue hire.
