Income, impact and opportunities

Making the most of the new funding landscape

2 October 2012

Keynote Speakers – Marcelle Speller OBE and John Kingston OBE

We held a free one-day conference that aimed to challenge and inspire attendees. As grants are harder to come by we explored how chances of generating earning income could be maximised.  It was a golden opportunity to gather ideas from expert speakers and to identify the opportunities available to organisations.

The event used a mix of speakers, master classes, case studies and debate to explore: new ways to generate income; social investment; governance; innovation and entrepreneurship; commissioning; training and skills; effective business partnerships.
