Resource Centre

 

If you are struggling to find information, help and advice about funding opportunities for your Peterborough group or project then you may benefit from using various resources we keep here at our Lincoln Road Headquarters.

A small grant from ‘Change Up’ has enabled PCVS to upgrade a range of essential funding directories and computer based resources. In addition we have subscribed for one year to www.trustfunding.org.uk

To book some time to use the resources please contact Lorraine White on 01733 342683. Help and assistance can be arranged to help you use the resources.
