NICVA's monthly round up of news, views, events, training and funding for the voluntary and community sector
NICVA
12 Sep 2007
Free to members
This month we say 'happy 21st' to the Link Awards. NICVA's 'charity Oscars' which recognise thevaluable contribution of organisations that sponsor or work in partnership with the voluntary and community sector are amazingly now in their 21st year. Could you be number 21?
This month we have a packed training section with our key event being another Members' Day covering finance and human resources issues on 9 October 2007. Other training to look out for includes strategic planning, lobbying, policy making, collaboration and company regulations.
Two new policy fora launch this month, the Policy and Advocacy Forum for campaigners and lobbyists, and the Global Poverty Forum, which looks at poverty from a local and global perspective. The latter launch is timely, with the next 'White Band' event coming on 16 and 17 October 2007. The STAND UP event seeks to outdo last year's record breaking number of people who stood up and spoke out against poverty.
Age is also on this month's agenda with Age Awareness Week seeking to highlight the rights of older people, especially in the workplace.
Where would any of us be without funding and this month brings welcome news of the Big Lottery's Reaching Communities programme, funding for the arts and a closing date of 18 October 2007 for the Modernisation Fund. Finally you might want to have your say on your experience, good or bad, with the four main lottery distributors in our online survey which closes at the end of September 2007.
