Success for Wee Grants for Wee Groups pilot

The groups may be wee, but the impact has the potential to be huge.
Their blog sets out some of the key reasons that applications aren’t successful and gives some great tips on how to increase your chances of funding. They expect the pilot to run until December 2019.
