Training for Frontline Organisations
Securing Your Financial Future in the Big Society
In the run up to the election and since the coalition have taken power we have been bombarded with messages about the need to reduce the national deficit and how this will impact on public spending. The headlines come thick and fast, and it is easy to become paralysed like a rabbit in the headlights as the juggernaut of spending cuts bears down upon us.
This half day event starts with a strategic overview of the rapidly changing policy landscape, and what this will mean for different government departments and areas of publice service delivery, both at the national and local level. It will draw out the common themes, acknowledge the difficulties third sector leaders face and look for the positive solutions and ways forward. This will include looking at potential business models, and methods for generating income.
Location: London 19 October 2010
Nottingham 18 November 2010
Newcastle 02 December 2010
