I've been to a few of these and think they're really useful.
Budget cuts, a decline in giving and increased demand for services are making this a tough time for charities - so Action Planning is working with ACEVO, CAF, Stone King LLP and Blackbaud to present a national conference on funding your work in challenging times.
It will be held in Central Hall Westminster on Wednesday 18 July and opened by the Cabinet Minister responsible for the third sector and public services, the Rt Hon Francis Maude MP with whom we will have an extended Q and A on Government plans for working with the sector to deliver public services.
As you will see from the conference brochure (download here), we will be examining all the ways in which you can make your organisation more financially sustainable - including diversifying fundraising, securing big gifts from the wealthy, generating more earned income, getting better returns on investments (if you're fortunate enough to have any), partnership working, cutting costs, outsourcing and restructuring.
We have a morning plenary with top-level speakers including leading leading financial guru, Gavyn Davies, ACEVO Chief Executive, Sir Stephen Bubb, Charity Finance Group Chief Executive, Caron Bradshaw, and one of Britain's most successful major donor fundraisers, Robin Thomas.
This is followed by choice of five afternoon workshops - on getting more from your fundraising function, generating earned income, marketing strategy, building the performance of your board and leading your team through major change. The attendance fee is £127 (which includes VAT and a networking reception from 4 pm) and you can book places online, by email (anne@actionplanning.co.uk) by phoning 020 8661 8060 or by completing the form on the conference brochure. Do join us.
All good wishes,
David
