Sunlight Development Trust
Next Community Cafe course will be held on Thursday 10 April 2008.
The DTA and Sunlight Development Trust run a series of courses on "So you want to run a Community Cafe" Forthcoming event dates will be published when available.
This one day course will give participants a through and realistic introduction to what is involved in running a Community Cafe.
Some of the things we will do:
- Consider why you want a cafe
- Help you understand the business planning processes.
- Consider the main uses of marketing within a cafe business.
- Review why so many community cafes close and help you avoid the pitfalls.
Some of the things we won't do:
- Tell you we know everything and that you should do it our way!
- Write your business plan for you
- Tell you what to sell and for how much
- Convince your trustees, managers or funders that your idea is a good one.
The course will be held at the Sunlight Centre in Gillingham, Kent and will include lunch and a tour of their vibrant and successful cafe.

DTA members £145 + VAT
