      Hart District Council's Communities and Partnerships service is sponsoring an online funding

      database for local community groups in the district to access. Hart 4 Community is the funding

      support website to local groups: go to www.open4community.info/hart register and carry out

      searches on funding sources in the following categories - government, National Lottery,

      charitable trusts and local funding sources.

    

     If any group would like help to be taken through this web database, please contact:

E-mail - membership@hartvolaction.org.uk

Telephone - 01252 815652

      and she can arrange a short training session for small groups. Equally, Caroline is happy to

      come out and visit your group and talk you through the search process step by step. Please

      note HVA will have access to a more in-depth version of this database and can download

      more detailed information in report form if required (particularly helpful for groups who are

      less familiar withthe internet).

     

     

      We will be keeping a check on how well this resource is used to feed back to Hart District

      Council for future use, so please do give the website a try and let us know how you get on.
