ANNUAL REPORT <strong>2022</strong><br />
Donna Speed, <strong>AVA</strong>’s Funding Officer, offers funding<br />
support and advice to third sector groups across<br />
Aberdeenshire. During <strong>2022</strong>, part of each working day<br />
involved researching grant options on behalf of groups and<br />
organisations. This could be anything from finding funding<br />
ideas for new sports equipment, meeting increased running<br />
costs, or a large-scale capital build or renovation. Every<br />
week the searches carried out were slightly different, as the<br />
third sector is so diverse across Aberdeenshire.<br />
A highlight of this year was being involved in the administration<br />
of the Aberdeenshire Communities Mental Health &<br />
Wellbeing Fund for a second year. It is always great to see<br />
local groups secure funding to continue their valuable work<br />
in our communities.
