Work Sustainability: Financial Diversification Workshop
Cheshire & Warrington Social Enterprise Partnership in association with SELNET (the Social Enterprise Lancashire Network) is providing fully-funded workshops for Social Enterprises in Cheshire and Warrington.
These workshops are designed to help your social enterprise:
• Increase turnover through trading and funding
• Secure public sector contracts
Social Enterprises and Third Sector Organisations are now facing a whole new set of challenges to survive. This interactive workshop helps to prepare for increasingly competitive markets, new commissioning and procurement circumstances and generating income from commercial activity, all this while maintaining the ethical social objectives of the Social Enterprise. At the end of the Financial Diversification workshop participants will gain understanding in:
• The potential for alternative revenue sources and how to access them
• Developing operational plans and milestones from strategic objectives
• Aligning your offer, promotion and therefore increased levels of paid for services
• Opportunities in the Public and Private sectors – providing a solution
• How bids are assessed and what will make commissioners take note of your organisation – your benefits
• What help and assistance is available
The workshop will run from 9.30 to 4pm and includes lunch. Workshops are fully funded by Capacity Builders, however participants who fail to attend or cancel with less than 24 hours notice will be invoiced for an administration charge of £20.
