Hiya :) Sorry, been a bit quiet last couple of weeks with work and holidays, looking forward to being back in the space next week,
I was reading up on the Aberdeen council Creative funding awards 2018/19. The blurb is online at https://www.aberdeencity.gov.uk/services/leisure-culture-and-sport/creative-funding-awards-201819 It seems to have less strings attached than some previous council initiatives, which is good. There are some possible issues with us perhaps not technically being a non-profit, but we can maybe explain our way round that. I'm happy doing the application paperwork on behalf of the hackspace. I've done a few of these funding applications before for various projects, so comfortable with the lingo and patter. My feeling is that with a few £k we could do some cool stuff in terms of kit and outreach etc, also it'd be great for financial sustainability. Any thoughts, ideas or input? I should be down the space Tuesday, happy to chat about it there too. Dates... - The deadline for all applications is 5pm on Friday 20 July 2018 - Funding decision by 1 September 2018 Sorry if this has been discussed in the space IRL or in IRC, if so, let me know what that chat was. My feeling is it's worth a punt, and we're a pretty good match for what the funding is aimed at. With it being quite close to the deadline it'd probably need a bit of a JFDI approach.
