Networking Event: Making Your Building Work for You (Gateshead)

This Connected Voice Networking Event is for organisations based in Gateshead. 

Making Your Building Work for You is a networking event about the potentials, successes and challenges of owning and managing property in the VCSE sector.

For many organisations, owning, leasing, or managing space is an essential part of delivering the important work that they do. Community hubs, social spaces, cafes and shops; buildings are an important part of the VCSE sector. They allow people to come together, and help organisations to deliver long-term, embedded work with communities. However, balancing the cost of running a community-focused building with the benefits that it can bring can be a significant challenge.

Whether you’ve managed your own building for years or are just looking to take the next step into renting your first space, this networking event will give you opportunities to share knowledge, make connections, and learn about how other people are making buildings work for them.

There will be opportunities to hear from exciting speakers, as well as an extended structured networking activity to help people build connections. We will have speakers from:

Strathmere Methodist Church - A local VCSE organisation 
Gateshead Council
The National Lottery Community Fund - A funder that supports capital development work.

This is for voluntary organisations across Newcastle and Gateshead. There will be two events- one focused on Newcastle-organisations, and one focused on Gateshead-based organisations. Each event will have different speakers. You are welcome to attend either event, or both!
