Community Sector Trading - Trading to create new income streams - FREE Course (London)
29/04/2010 - 30/04/2010Thursday 29th April & Friday 30th April 2010 - Royal Foundation of St. Katherine's, East London
This free course supports voluntary and community organisations to understand how they can develop their trading activities to grow and diversify their income streams. Through a mix of face-to-face and virtual sessions, it offers practical learning based on real experience of the 'nuts and bolts' of running a business in the community. The learning programme gives participants the opportunity to engage with leaders of successful trading community organisations and explores:
• Strategic planning and growth
• Developing trading activities and diversifying income streams
• Investment readiness
• Pitching new ventures
It aims to support both front-line organisations who are currently developing a social enterprise project and Third Sector development support providers. This goes way beyond a traditional training course as it provides participants with additional business planning support, introduces a varied set of critical friends and is partly delivered through online conferencing technology.
Who should participate?
• National, regional and local VCS infrastructure organisations
• CVSs and local Change Up partnerships
• Business Link franchise holders
• Regional social enterprise agencies
• SKiLD (Skills & Knowledge in Local Development)
• Trustees of small community groups
• Lead managers of small community groups
• Non-finance specialist managers and generic workers
• We are particularly seeking participation from BME and rural community groups
