Join us for the official launch of Match My Project across the East Midlands!

Monday 8 September 2025, 12:00 - 2:00pm

West Bridgford (details on exact location to follow)

We’re inviting our local community organisations to join Match My Project (MMP), a marketplace platform designed to match community organisations with suppliers who want to support local projects, whether through donations, volunteering, resources, or other contributions. It’s a simple, free way to get the support you need to make a bigger impact.

What to expect:

  • A keynote speech by Claire Ward, Mayor of the East Midlands.
  • Talks from senior council leaders, MMP and trial users.
  • Informal networking with food and refreshments provided.
  • The opportunity to ask questions and sign up to the platform.

Why attend?

By joining MMP, you can:

  • Be Championed in your Community
    MMP is powered by communities, recognising that grassroots VCSEs know their localities best.
  • Receive Free Support
    An opportunity to directly request support from suppliers to deliver your community projects, helping you address current needs and fulfil your mission.
  • Access Available Resources
    Search for supplier-initiated offers, such as job opportunities and other resources, allowing you to benefit from their capabilities and expertise.
  • Reduce Time Spent Getting Your Projects Off the Ground
    Streamline processes using a centralised platform, allowing you to efficiently manage and track the support you receive.

How to RSVP

Spaces are limited and demand is expected to be high, so we strongly encourage you to register your interest early to avoid disappointment. Each organisation may register up to two attendees.

To express your interest, please complete this form separately for each person who would like to attend: https://forms.office.com/e/Nc5GP1kfjG. Your place will then be confirmed directly via email.

For any queries, please contact: procurement@eastmidlands-cca.gov.uk

This initiative is being delivered in partnership by East Midlands Combined County Authority, Derbyshire County Council, Derby City Council, Nottinghamshire County Council, and Nottingham City Council.
