Are you thinking of applying for funding for a project but feeling intimidated by the form? Have you applied in the past but not been successful and lost confidence? Perhaps you don't know what's fundable in the first place?

This practical workshop led by Ailie Robertson will take you through the process of writing a successful funding application. It aims to cover all aspects of structuring your application and offer tips and advice to ensure that your submissions have every chance of success. The workshop will focus on:

• How to talk about yourself and your project
• How to strengthen your proposal
• How to address Creative Scotland's three strategic priorities and key areas of work
• How to think about evaluating and monitoring your project
• How to budget, including how to calculate in-kind costs
  
  There will also be a Q&A, where we will be encouraging questions and discussion from participants.
