Audience is key? I’ve supported many Shed applications! The majority from Men, although many too that are open to anyone with a few hours or skills to give! Whilst LinkedIn is fab, I’m going to be honest, the majority of men (women, any gender) shedders that I have met tend to be informally organised, do it in their free time, as an escape sometimes, recently retired or at a loose end! etc etc and definitely not on linked in (just saying)! So, to keep things authentic, let’s not overcomplicate the benefits of the Shedders, as many have received our funding. Whilst top tips are useful, to be honest, I’d recommend shedders talk to each other and share impact and talk to each other when looking for funding. I’m a regional officer and part of my role is to make applying for funding less complicated. As part of my role I therefore connect Shedders to each other to demystify the application and learning process 😁
