General advice will also be given by the council's external funding team, ERVAS and the Humber and Wolds Rural Community Council. Support services manager for funding at ERVAS Judith McKelvey said: "This is an excellent opportunity for local community and voluntary sector groups to meet with funders face-to-face.

"It will offer them the chance to discuss details of their proposals."

A free bus service from Howdenshire villages can take people to the venue. To book, call 01405 780344 by Tuesday August 31.
