Grant Funding, Resources and More

We are living in uncertain times. So how do we stay afloat? Despite the challenges many of us face, we still have access to support systems, including grant funding, sector resources, and, of course, our own tools, training and services, which are designed to cater to your needs.

At The Centre, we’re here for you. We champion you and the volunteering community to thrive, whether your needs are big or small. This month, we’re saving you time and stress by giving you a comprehensive guide of available resources. Check it out:
