Events

Speed Networking - 'Effective Networking for Busy Projects and Busy People'

We are delighted to invite you to a free ‘Speed Networking Event’ where you will have the chance to meet colleagues from local, city-wide and regional organisations (stall holders to be confirmed). The event will consist of 7 minute time slots where you will be encouraged to visit each stall, meeting providers who will tell you about their service / product or organisation. Everyone will visit each stall in turn. Coffee and cupcakes will be served and then colleagues will be free to spend the final 45 minutes networking and visiting any stalls they require more information from.
This is the ideal opportunity to network, meet new organisations and find out what organisations actually do. Our last Speed Networking event was fully booked so please ensure you secure your place early! We look forward to seeing you! Look at last year's Speed Networking event.
Please note this is for organisations that work with children and young people in Sunderland only.
Any questions can be directed to Amanda Gerry on 5655144.
When: Thursday, April 07, 2011 from 4:00 PM - 6:30
Where: Arts Centre Washington.Find out more and register.

Enterprising Charities events

Enterprising Charities events aim to help third sector organisations in Tyne and Wear consider social enterprise and trading as a sustainable way to generate unrestricted income. Interested organisations will be referred to work with Sustainable Enterprise Strategies (SES), who will help them develop their enterprise ideas.
Delivered in partnership with SES and Ward Hadaway Law Firm, this event will be a chance to look at the following topics:
- Social Enterprise: something that you ARE, or something that you DO?
- Enterprise alongside other sources of funding (grants, contracts, donations)
- Legal technicalities – trading arms, CICs and charity law
- Support available for enterprising organisations
If you like what you hear at the event and you want to further explore social enterprise as an addition to your existing work, SES will work with you to share their in-depth knowledge of social enterprise, offering one to one support and mentoring to organisations keen to develop their enterprising activity.

Events' dates are as follows:
Tuesday 15th March 9.30am-12.30pm at Church House, North Shields
Tuesday 7th June 9.30am-12.30pm at Disability North, Newcastle upon Tyne
