Small Grants
We’re delighted to have re-opened our CPD Small Grants fund for individual members offering funding of up to £200 towards professional development activities.

Why not apply?
Our CPD Small Grants programme is now open for applications from individual members of the Fed, so we’d love you to apply. We have recently increased our maximum grant to £200 to help you access professional development opportunities like in person or online training, spending time with another organisation, or another way of developing your skills and experience. You can apply by completing a short application form and providing brief further information.
