Community Alliance Conference

NEW HORIZONS -
Developing Enterprising Organisations
Friday, 22nd October 2010
9.30 am - 3.30 pm
at The Durham Centre, Belmont Industrial Estate, Durham

The single biggest 'headache' for community organisations is how to fund the future. When once organisations relied on grants, earned income from room hire and their own fundraising, now contracts, commissions, trading, loans... are all being considered. As a result many organisations are looking in detail at how to utilise their experience, their building, and their services to create income for their work.

This one day Conference looks at how to create organisations that take an enterprising approach in developing sound financial futures for their work.Participants also have the opportunity to enter Bear's Lair (a session based on Dragon's Den) - to present a proposal that could win them a tailored package of support. Download the flyer and booking form for further details. Please return your completed booking form to Susan Heads by Friday, 8th October 2010.
