Happy Easter too all PLANS readers!
I hope I find you all well on this Good Friday eve. It has been a very busy couple of weeks here at Castlewood, but Rhi has been busy behind the scenes collating lots of funding opportunities to share with you.
There is a whole range of different grants here... let me know if you are looking to fund a specific project and we will do our best to find a grant that suits.
There will be a couple of exciting announcements soon so keep your eyes on the blog...
I hope you all have a restful and fun long weekend..
