We asked
You said
Question 1
Which topics did you find most interesting?
  • All
  • Funding and networking
  • Future plans
  • GDN 3 and new developments around VCMA proposals
  • We're new to working with NGN so an understanding of strategic priorities (current and potential future ones) was useful to see how what we will be doing fits into that context.
  • Understanding the plans for GD3 in terms of likely funding you will get/how the process will work
Question 2
Which topic(s) would you like to see on the agenda for future meetings
  • Always the same future funding and areas of advice/support
  • Spotlighting successful projects
  • Support for partners in terms of 1 to 1 zoom call to find out if everything is ok.
  • We ran out of time to talk about the journey to net zero, but that would be an interesting future topic
  • I would have liked to see more breakout opportunities to discuss or polls, to make it more interactive. Also, would be good to have some case studies or videos of real people's experiences of benefitting from this funding.
Question 3
When planning future events what should we improve?
  • More face to face meetings
  • Times (mornings difficult for me due to sleep deprivation / disability)
  • More time for workshops ie 10am to 2pm
  • More in-person opportunities would be great
Question 4
What next step, if any, will you take because of what your heard today?
  • Make contact with other agencies
  • Continue to work and engage with both NGN and other partners
  • Look at submitting a new project when applications can be accepted again
  • Consider how we best link up with partner organisations that can complement what we plan to do
  • I will feedback my understanding of how your funding mechanism works and your progress towards spending your current VCMA allowance
