Dear Tracy

	'Legacy Marketing for Beginners' - a practical one day workshop 26 March 2013 in London Further information Book places

Do you have a strategy to secure legacies for your organisation?

Legacies provide over £1.9 billion every year to charities and are one of the fastest growing sources of income. Research shows that up to 60% of donors will leave a legacy if asked in the right way and yet currently only 5% of those who die leave a legacy.

The potential is vast!

Our Legacy Marketing for Beginners Workshop will take you through a step by step process designed to help you start your legacy marketing programme from scratch.

The workshop is designed for Legacy Marketing Executives or Managers of medium and small not-for-profit organisations, who have little experience of legacy marketing and are starting their legacy marketing programme from scratch.

The workshop will be led by Sheila McGuinness, who has over 13 years in the charity sector and has held positions at the British Heart Foundation, Help the Aged and the Parkinson's Disease Society where she gained significant experience of legacy marketing. Book online and request invoice

The attendance fee is £142 and you can book your places here.

Wiltshire Loves Arts Website

So we're nearly ready to go with the Wiltshire Loves Arts Website! What we need now is to populate this website, that will be pushed out around the County and the Country by Visit Wiltshire, with all that we have on offer in Wiltshire.

So if you have events coming up that you would like to be featured on this website which is designed to promote all arts and cultural activities that are happening around the County, please let us know at wiltshireartspromoters@gmail.com.

We will let you all have a glimpse of it as soon as it's ready!

Trowbridge Arts. Assistant needed

So I've been a bit distracted from my WAP blogging with my work helping Trowbridge put itself on the Cultural map... We're just about to go public with the news that the Grants For The Arts application I submitted last summer, with significant funding from Wiltshire Council and support from Trowbridge Town Council and TCAF (Trowbridge's Community Area Partnership) we have secured over £120,000 of funding to programme professional performance, participation and visual art in the Trowbridge Community Area.

So I will be doing less work for Wiltshire Arts Promoters and working as the Director of Arts for Trowbridge. Don't worry WAP will be being looked after by the brilliant Natalie Andrews who's supported arts development in Wiltshire for a number of years. I'm looking for someone to work with me on the Trowbridge Arts project. Fancy it? Here's the advert, get in touch if you'd like more information!

So wonderful that despite these difficult times our work is ensuring continued investment in the arts in Wiltshire. Do get in touch if you have any thoughts about work that might suit Trowbridge's unusual spaces.

Happy 2013 all!

Are you looking to diversify income streams by selling services or generating earned income?

Action Planning is pleased to announce the launch of a new workshop designed for small and medium sized charities looking to develop enterprise from scratch.

			As charities face cuts in public funding and drops in individual income, many are considering commercial opportunities to 'sell their services' and/or generate earned income via trading and enterprise. But where and how do you start?
	The workshop is led by Steve Allman, Social Entrepreneur in Residence at the School for Social Entrepreneurs and tutor & mentor to aspiring social entrepreneurs.

Using a range of case studies and practical exercise, the workshop will examine the 10 steps to developing Enterprise.

Your delegate fee of £169 includes VAT, all course resources and lunch. You can book by entering your details here, alternatively you can email anne.page@actionplanning.co.uk or phone the Events team on 020 8661 8066.

Outcomes workshop!

I've been on this one, it was a gooden', any of you who've been victims of my evaluations star.... it was this workshops fault! 'Demonstrating Outcomes' - a practical one-day workshop 31 January or 21 March 2013 in London More information Book places

Does your organisation need to demonstrate outcomes and social value to funders and stakeholders?

		This popular one-day workshop is designed to help charities to improve their understanding of outcomes and how they can be measured to demonstrate social value to stakeholders. It is of particular value to organisations working in social care, housing, health and disability, children and young people, employment, faith-based projects and international development – which often work with soft outcomes and change lives in ways which few funders fully appreciate.
	The course is run by Dawn Wood, Senior Consultant at Action Planning, who has extensive experience in this area.

Here is a comment from a past participant:
"Some great tips and tools to take away. A very engaging trainer." Sarah Bone, Chief Executive, Diabetes Research and Wellness Foundation

Your delegate fee of £146 includes VAT, all course resources and lunch. You can book by entering your details here, alternatively you can email anne.page@actionplanning.co.ukor phone the Events team on 020 8661 8066.

We hope the training is of interest and look forward to seeing you. With my thanks and best wishes,

He’s back...

Broken Britain may be staring into the bottom of an empty pint glass, but don’t lose hope – Al Murray The Pub Landlord is back to fill it up again, with a brand new show of epic proportions.

“A National Treasure – FIVE STARS” Daily Telegraph

Discover archives with Story Box Theatre...

Title: Story Box

Description: An intimate opportunity to explore the archive with an expert guide and select few for company. The Story Box project lifts the lid on 8 miles of archives and invites creative practitioners to slip between the centuries and delve into the lives of past generations. The archive contains a vast array of documents that pertain to every aspect of life and death within the county, there are registers of births and marriages, there are proceedings from courts and school punishment books, there are also personal letters as well as the papers of state. The archive covers every strata of society from the destitute seeking shelter to the correspondence of monarch dispensing their favours. The archive charts the transition of society from the gruesome medieval courts of justice that had the power to mutilate and dismember transgressors through to the creation of democratic institutions and the foundations of charities and unions.

The day will be split into three parts; part one is an introduction and discussion about the archive; part two is an opportunity to explore in more detail a selection of materials and create a response to share with other artists over refreshments; in the afternoon part three is a much more open session with support from the help desk team to explore the archive.

Timings: Arrive at 9:45 for a prompt 10am start. The building closes to the public at 5:30pm.

Dates: 27^th of February and the 19^th of March.

Outcome: By the end of the session you will have a good understanding of what the archive contains and how to navigate the various resources. You will have workedwith fellow creative practitioners to explore the archive and be invited to join a larger group for a series of other opportunities to explore and create within the archive.

Registration: Please send an e-mail to Arts@wiltshire.gov.uk to book a place, please state which date you would like to attend and whether you will be staying for the whole day or just the morning.
