Organised by Lizzie Kingston-Harris, the Congregational Connections Lead, and hosted by Sarah Cobham and Paul Lindsay Dawson from Wakefield Unitarians, this online workshop brought together around 30 Unitarians to find out more about how to bid for external funding to improve a building, or to support community projects.

Westgate Chapel in Wakefield, in partnership with Dream Time Creative, has brought in over £70,000 this year for improvements to the vestry, chapel and garden and for other creative projects, and Sarah and Paul have learnt a huge amount about writing bids for funding and have generously offered to share their expertise with you in this hour-long workshop, so we were very interested to hear from them. Their energy and passion, along with their commitment to making their building and congregation a vital part of their local community, shone through. It was an inspiring hour, many thanks to those involved.
