Looking to make your organisation more financially sustainable? - Let us introduce the Accelerate Programme

Overview:
Joining us for this session is Community Enterprise CEO Douglas Westwater. Douglas will give an overview of the Accelerate programme, eligibility and how to apply.

Description:
Accelerate is a fully funded programme providing mentoring and guidance to help organisations become more financially sustainable. The programme provides around 6 days of support which is broad and flexible. The type of support is largely up to you and what you think will meet your organisation’s specific needs.
As examples, groups and organisations have used Accelerate to:

• Develop marketing plans
• Look at other funding options
• Explore new trading ideas
• Plan financially and work on budgets
• Improve branding
• Work on a business plan
• Strengthen their Board
• Look at their legal structure

The Vibrant Communities Team will also provide a short presentation on the Community Development support they provide to support groups and organisations across Angus.

The session will conclude with an opportunity for questions.
