Bend, not break: surviving funding cuts

Worried about the impact of cuts on your organisation? Not sure how to navigate your way forward? This workshop will help you get started.

Posted: 10/03/2022


Event details

This workshop is for established voluntary and community organisations that face a
significant cut in funding. It will guide you through a review and
planning process to give your organisation the best chance of surviving
funding cuts and moving towards a more sustainable future.

We will look at:

  • getting a clear picture of your financial future

  • recognising and avoiding insolvency

  • reviewing your potential to raise income from trading/contracts

  • reconfiguring services and budgets to maintain your core purposes

  • managing change and governance issues in sustainability.

During the course of the day you will create your own action
plan to take back to your organisation.  Further support will be
available from VAL to help you take this forward.

 

Who is this event for?

Senior managers and trustees of established voluntary, community and
social enterprise organisations. Those based outside Lewisham are
