HEREFORDSHIRE'S community and voluntary organisations seeking funding for their projects are being urged to get along to a special event which will help them in their bid for cash.

The Herefordshire Funding Fair, on Wednesday, follows the success of earlier fairs and will take place at Aylestone High School.

There will be the chance to take part in active workshop sessions about funding, talk directly to grant makers and organisations offering advice and understand more about how to apply for funding.

Organiser Clare Wichbold said: "As with previous years, the event will have a wide range of information stalls and workshops to attend and enjoy.

"It's important that people can have a good time taking part in the event while also getting the essential information they need."

The workshop sessions will run in the morning and be repeated in the afternoon.

Information stalls will be available on a drop-in basis all day. Childcare is available if required and a buffet lunch will also be available from 12.30pm to 1.30pm.

Admission is free, but places are limited for the workshops.
