Effective minute taking
11th September 2019
Edinburgh

What’s the big deal with minutes anyway? Minutes are a record of what takes place at a meeting and ensures nothing is lost or forgotten – you will learn how to take, prepare, and present minutes.

No need to write like the wind and capture every word – minutes don’t have to be verbatim but they do have to record certain facts. You will explore what must be recorded: participants, decisions, actions…

Time is precious, so make every second count – think like a Scout and be prepared! Teresa Dolan will discuss the meeting cycle and what to prepare before your meeting takes place.

Minutes don’t have to be long, complicated or in fancy language but they do need to record clearly and simply…you will examine the most difficult aspects of taking minutes and how best to address them.

Anyone can scribble a rough outline of a meeting, right? Yes, but to take good notes and create minutes that provide an accurate reflection requires a particular set of skills – Teresa will show you!

The good, the bad and the ugly – get the pop-corn ready as you screen them all! You’ll examine good and bad minutes, which will help you follow best practice and avoid common mistakes.

Comms and marketing made easy
5th September 2019
Edinburgh

You’ll look at some of the why, where, when, how behind comms and marketing during class discussions and group work. You’ll look at good (free or almost free) tools, which will help you build some imaginative marcomms campaigns. Then you’ll plan and execute a campaign (and present it for fun!), maybe setting up a demo Twitter account, Facebook page, media call, or stakeholder event.

You’ll take a real, live plan back to base after picking up new skills:

  • why marketing & communications matters – particularly the need to sell internally
  • know your comms options – looking at the “traditional” and “digital” ways we can communicate
  • curate a list of ways to tell stories – and how to decide what to do
  • learn about video and design

Beyond the basics: developing your fundraising skills
3rd October 2019
Edinburgh

Who are you approaching for support and why? If your application doesn’t fit don’t force it into a funder’s guidelines – you will explore how to make the best match between the work you want to fund and the most appropriate funder.

How many funders is one too many? With over two decades of fundraising experience Pam knows why you should pursue different sources of support and how to avoid seeking funding every three years…and she’ll let you in on it!

It’s not OK to have your application stand out from the crowd… it’s A-OK! Sing your own praises when writing proposals, which include organisational case statements that can be modified to suit different funding applications – it’s a skill and Pam will show you how!

It’s important to make the most of what you’ve got – you will look at how to engage your management committee, volunteers and other staff in supporting your efforts and making your fundraising more effective!

What comes first, the funder or match funding? Partnerships and joint applications are key to third sector fundraising, so you will examine how to make them work in your favour.

You know funding is not a quick progress, it takes time, effort and a lot of leg work especially when it comes to research – Pam will take you through the role of research and how important it is in successful funding applications… it is beyond looking in the directories.

Taking care of donors after the cheque is in the bank plays as important a part of funding as the application does, it is more than just a thank you! You will explore the complexities of stewardship and the art of cultivation.
