3 Options (you only need to attend one):

Technical Tips Briefing Session

This session provides essential information and advice on important issues to consider and dos & don’ts in relation to planning your IT facility. If you aren’t an IT expert, this workshop is a MUST! Feedback from previous successful grant applicants that attended this session has been overwhelmingly positive in terms of how useful and important it was in helping them to carefully plan their project.

Slides and recordings of the briefing sessions will be made available on VOLA’s website, but it is strongly recommended that you attend.

Any enquiries should be directed to VOLA at ukspfgrants@volamerseyside.org.uk.
