The tenth annual 'Funding the Future' conference will be held at Central Hall Westminster, London, on 14 March. The event features government ministers and 40 statutory, lottery and trust funders speaking on their 2012/2013 funding programmes.
Last year the event was attended by 1,500 delegates.
Speakers include:
• Secretary of State for Communities and Local Government, Rt Hon Eric Pickles MP
• Civil Society Minister, Nick Hurd MP
• Health and Social Care Minister, Paul Burstow MP
• Big Lottery Fund Chief Executive, Peter Wanless, and members of his policy team
• Leading Global Philanthropist, Jamie Cooper-Hohn, Founder of the Children's Investment Fund Foundation
• National Cancer Director, Professor Sir Michael Richards (on hospice funding)
• Esmee Fairbairn Foundation Chief Executive, Dawn Austwick
The event will be feature seven 'meet the funders' streams: Health and Social Care, Community Development, Children and Young People, International Development, Arts and Heritage, the Environment and Faith-based organisations.
The fee to attend is £135 which includes VAT, lunch and a networking reception.
The problems can be the fee to attend. The present global economic climate can make this seem an unsurmountable problem. But we must find the fee and also be able to present the work of the Community Cancer Centre in order to gain for the future!
One of the organisations has sent us an email about this.. Action Planning seems a good way forward to learning more about securing funding for Charities.
Action Planning was launched in 1990 by our Chairman, David Saint, and has grown rapidly to become one of the leading UK fundraising, management and recruitment consultants to charities and not-for profit organisations. David explains below our distinctive approach to working in partnership with clients, building capacity and transferring skills.
All that is needed is a an action plan to reach out and be systematic in approaching all the helpers we can! A reach out to gain funding for the centre to not only carry on its work but expand to meet the expanding needs placed upon it...
