As part of our continual support programme for social enterprises we have identified that there is a great need for Fundraising and Business Planning skills within the sector. You will be pleased to know that we have organised two workshops that would benefit you immensely. Two workshops, half a day sessions each are on Fund Raising and Business Planning. These workshops will be a hands on practical solution to your needs and would be customised for you. There will also be a one to one session at the end of each workshop, where you will have the opportunity to discuss your specific condition with workshop leaders. Both workshops will be delivered by the representatives of CNT Associates.
