Funding for organisations working in healthcare/mental health/disabilities

Hi all

Just thought I'd mention that in our work with the Funding Advisers Network in Herts, Stevenage CVS receives regular funding briefings on a range of subjects, including disability.

This briefing came out in December but expect quarterly updates. Contact CVS for more information if you are a new organisation in this area - or just want to sign up as a member for updates!
