Planning for sustainability Widening your funding base 

This workshop is aimed at voluntary and community groups, to enable them to plan for sustainability, by looking at what they want to do in the short and long term and how this can be funded. It will encourage organisations which might presently rely on limited funding streams such as grants, to consider new funding opportunities e.g. contracts and income generation and look at the pro’s and cons of each. 

The session will cover:

• funding trends
• funding sources – pro’s and cons
• planning for sustainability
• support and information 

The workshop is run by fit4funding and Charity Bank in the North as part of Charity Bank’s Investment Readiness Programme. 

Date: Monday 15th December Time: 10.00 – 1.00 Venue: Huddersfield Methodist Mission, 3 – 13 Lord Street, Huddersfield HD1 1QA

Cost: free to voluntary organisations in Yorkshire and the Humber
