A programme for the voluntary sector to bring in more money, from more sources, more regularly
October 2016-March 2017
Location: Newcastle or Hartlepool
Developed by The Community Foundation in partnership with Mark Butcher Associates, the programme is designed to provide an introduction to a range of income generating activities and help organisations prepare to engage in them. As well as our trainers, attendees will hear from peer professionals who have succeeded in each area.
In February and March 2016 the Community Foundation ran Building Future Sustainability through its Partnerships Programme to help ‘mid-range’ organisations begin to prepare for what could be a very different kind of future.
The programme helps delegates add value to their bid writing skills to get to the front of the queue but also explores the potential of closer working with the corporate sector, the wider community and rich individuals. The programme focusses on partnerships, contracts, grants and trading as income generation options and how they might become part of the revenue mix for local groups. Such was the success of this multi strand income generating training programme that it will be repeated again this winter. You can hear how previous participants felt about the programme here http://www.futuresustainability.org/delegate-opinions.html
The Community Foundation has worked with Mark Butcher Associates to create a programme designed to support greater sustainability for charities and community groups across the North East. And once again we have support from Esmée Fairbairn and Garfield Weston Foundations to allow significant price subsidies.
