Many SMEs chase grants to start a business but overlook funding that can pay them to deliver their services right now.
This practical 1‑hour online workshop explains how UK local authorities fund SMEs through government programmes such as the Holiday Activities and Food (HAF) Programme, and how your business can access these opportunities.
Rather than focusing on start‑up grants, this session highlights delivery-funded contracts that pay you to provide activities and services immediately — ideal for SMEs, sole traders, social enterprises, freelancers and community organisations.
What You’ll Learn
- How HAF and similar local authority programmes work
