Questions from Group Leaders
October 2022 – Group Seed Funding
Formby u3a have identified a need to create new groups both for our current and new members. While it is expected that all groups should be self financing we recognise that in the short term, before a group has a sufficient members, it may struggle to cover its initial costs. We are proposing to offer seed funding up to a maximum of £200 to help get new groups started. It is broadly up to the group to determine what this money is used for but we anticipate it being used for equipment, books, venue hire, speaker or instructor costs.
