Leading and Developing Your Charity

How do you lead a not-for-profit organisation successfully in a time of recession?

How do you turn the challenges of increased demand and reduced resources into an opportunity for growth and development?

At the second meeting of Cornwall Charity Club leaders from two of Cornwall’s most successful organisations will provide us with the inside track on how they have coped with the challenge of leading and developing their organisations.

Shelterbox famously grew ‘from the ground up’ out of a Rotary Club project. Most recently it has taken a high profile role in response to the earthquake in Haiti.

 

Truro College was just a green field and a dream twenty years ago, but it has grown rapidly to become one of the most well-regarded Colleges of further and higher education the country.

We will hear from Tom Henderson and Ellen Winser about the lessons they have learned through their organisations journeys to success.

These events are free and include a light evening buffet. To book, please fill in the attached flyer.

The deadline for booking is Friday 12th March
