Our First Ever Meet the Funders Event

Wednesday 19 November | Hosted by WEWN | North East of England

This one is for the women of our Global Communities. Women who came from all over the world (Africa, Asia, the Middle East, Latin America, Eastern Europe and beyond) and made the North East of England their home. Women who arrived as migrants and refugees and became pillars of their communities.

Women who set up charities, social enterprises and Community Interest Companies, not for profit but for purpose. Women who feed, comfort, translate, advocate, mentor, employ, heal and hold space for others every single day, often with little or no funding.

We see you. And now, funders will meet you.

What is Meet the Funders?

 Meet the Funders brings funders together with the women and organisations we support, for open conversations about funding and opportunities, including:

  - What funding is available for Global Communities-led charities and CICs?

  - What do funders really want to see?

  - How do you become fund-ready without losing your mission?

  - How do we build partnerships that truly serve our communities?

  No jargon. No gatekeeping. Just real conversation, real access and real opportunity.

Who is it for?

 If you're a woman from a Global Community leading a charity, CIC or social enterprise in the North East, this room is for you.

 If you're a funder who wants to invest in lived experience, grassroots leadership and real community impact, this room is for you.
