Upcoming Training for Communities across Dorset:

Bite-Sized Training Sessions – July

Monday 28th July
Various Times, please see below specifics.
All take place online.

13:30 Designing a fundable project or service
It can be difficult to see how what you do could be a “project” or service that a funder might be interested in supporting. There are several ways in which you can package your services so that funders can see the difference that they are going to make. This session will look at the three main ways you can do this to help increase the money coming in.

14:15 You can’t measure smiles
What you do may have a feel-good factor, but how does that translate when you’re telling funders and other stakeholders about what you do? What if they have given you money and want to know the results? This session examines this conundrum and how you can take a light-touch approach to gathering the information you need.

15:00 Building partnerships
In a village or neighbourhood, there may be a number of groups and organisations working with people. Some you may collaborate with, some not. Often there is competition for resources, footfall and influence. How can you turn this to your advantage? What are the key ways to build sustainable partnerships for the benefit of the whole community? This session will help you analyse those relationships and understand where the benefits lie.
