RCVDA offers funding advice to voluntary and community groups in Redcar & Cleveland. We have members of staff who can advise on appropriate sources of funding and how best to apply.

Directories are available to help with searches and we also have access to a computerised grants database – Grantfinder – which staff will be happy to access to help you identify possible funders.
