SUMMARY:Beyond Grants: Unlocking Sustainable Income Through Cross-Sector Partnerships
DESCRIPTION:Corporate budgets are waiting to be spent before April — do you know how to access them? Join Clare Sweeney at Salford Innovation Forum for a practical session on building sustainable partnerships\, diversifying income beyond grants\, and finding the cross-sector collaborator you didn’t know was looking for you.\n \nIf your organisation relies heavily on grants\, this session is your starting point for something different. \nClare Sweeney works across the Impact Economy helping organisations diversify income through corporate partnerships\, sponsorships\, and legacy fundraising. She’s partnering with Salford Innovation Forum to deliver a focused\, hands-on pilot session on income resilience and sustainable partnerships. \nThis isn’t a lecture. It’s a working session designed to leave you with real\, actionable next steps. \nWhat You’ll Walk Away With \n\nYour cross-sector match — identify the collaborator you didn’t know was waiting for you\nA shared language — learn how to speak so that both sides of a partnership understand each other\nA sustainability blueprint — what a lasting\, meaningful partnership actually looks like\nThe money map — we know where the funding sits\, and we’ll help you access it\nThe engagement playbook — how to win hearts and minds and make the process genuinely enjoyable\n\nWho Should Attend? \nThis session is designed for two sides of the same coin: \n\nCharities\, social enterprises\, CICs\, and purpose-led organisations looking to move beyond grant dependency\nBusinesses and corporates interested in meaningful\, impactful community partnerships\n\nWhy Now? \nMany companies have unspent charity budget allocations that need to be committed before the end of the financial year in April. This session is timed to help you take advantage of that window. \nWhat Comes Next? \nThis is a taster session. Depending on appetite\, it leads into either a Lightning Series or a Co-Lab — deeper\, structured programmes to turn these ideas into live partnerships.

SUMMARY:The Society Of Learning & Development Exchange
DESCRIPTION:A free\, bi-weekly online event where L&D pros\, training providers and e-learning developers gather to exchange ideas and solve challenges.\n\n\n\nIf you could wave a magic wand\, how would you solve your training programme’s biggest challenge? \nAs nice as it would be to have a silver bullet solution\, that’s just not the case in the world of learning and development. But you don’t have to spend hours trying to solve your biggest challenges alone when there may be somebody out there who’s been in your shoes and can help you move forward.
