September 2022 Webinars
Norfolk Community Foundation announce their webinar line-up for September 2022
This September, Norfolk Community Foundation will be hosting 3 webinars with inspirational speakers from 2 local charities: The Daisy Programme and the East Anglian Air Ambulance. This offer is part of our Funding Plus programme, giving local voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) groups the opportunity to learn, grow and develop. We hope this month’s mix of engaging, informative and instructional webinars, with opportunities to engage and ask questions, gives local VCSEs the chance to realise their potential and empowers them to make change within their organisations.
Lauren Birch, Corporate Philanthropy Advisor, said: “We are delighted to be working alongside 2 charities this September to deliver 3 engaging webinars. These webinars will help local VCSEs strengthen their organisations by getting to grips with what makes an organisation sustainable – be it though channelling passion effectively or ensuring long-term funding.”
