May Theme: How to get funded – exploring business investment and grant opportunities for small businesses across a range of sectors.

DLWP Head of Fundraising Jessica Cheetham will host this month’s event focusing on business grants and finance opportunities, inviting speakers to give a short update on their experience, then facilitating break out groups for questions.

Speakers include:

Anne Rathbone, Bexhill Town Board
Jenny Barrett, National Association of Commercial Finance Brokers
Ben Urban, Beeching Road Studios
Emily Wright, Let’s Do Business Group

We will touch on creative and charitable fundraising if relevant, but a later Learn, Share, Network event will be dedicated to these funding streams.

Running a small business is tough – especially weathering the multiple storms the last few years have thrown at us. That’s why we’re launching a series of free events for small businesses to network, share experiences, have a drink and learn something new. Each event will invite speakers to explore a different theme key for small businesses to master in order to succeed in a competitive market place, as well as providing a relaxed opportunity to meet other local businesses facing similar challenges. Anyone running a small business in Bexhill, Hastings & St Leonard’s is welcome.
