York Acorn ARLC’s Alan Havercroft will talk about his experiences applying for grants to fund the club’s Thanet Road improvement and development plans.
Sarah Stephenson, of North Yorkshire Sport, will present information on the range of funding options available to clubs, including Sportivate and Satellite Clubs Fund.
