Your Charity – Get Fit for Your Future – Trustees Shared Learning Seminar Briefing
2015-06-24 | Cardiff, Cardiff
As so much of your attention is often focussed on the immediate pressures facing your charity, you and your fellow trustees can lose sight of the planning that is needed to secure your charity’s future.
This FREE evening seminar is a re-run of the Wales Audit Office’s previous seminar held in November 2014, which looks to equip you to ensure your charity’s continued success by planning well and future-proofing your charity by focussing on:

good governance to understand and manage risks;
having the right people around the table to lead and advise; and
new and alternative sources of income.

Due to the current financial climate, lots of charities are finding that they are having to live off their reserves, and that traditional funding sources are getting more difficult to obtain. Many face an uncertain future, as they know they cannot continue in the way they are currently operating . To overcome this, charities need to explore new sources of income and make sure those income streams are right for their situation.
The Seminar is aimed at Trustees and Chairs of:

Public Sector organisations;
Voluntary sector organisations;
Social Enterprises, community businesses and co-operatives.

If you would like to secure a delegate place or if you would like to discuss any aspect of the seminar, please email: sharedlearningevent@wao.gov.uk

The Continued Independence of Older People
2015-07-01 09:00 - 13:00 | SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff CF11 9XR, SWALEC Stadium, Cardiff CF11 9XR
The Wales Audit Office is holding a free seminar with the Older People’s Commissioner and Good Practice Wales on the continued independence of older people.
Wales has a population with the highest proportion of older people in the UK. Nearly one in five (19%) of the population of Wales is aged over 65 and over. This number is projected to increase by 50 per cent between 2012 and 2037, potentially posing increasing demands on health and social care services.
In order to prevent escalation of these demands, public services need to change the way services are currently delivered and think about innovative and cost effective ways to ensure older people are given the best possible opportunities to maintain independent lives.
This seminar will provide examples of services which:

support older people in living independently in their own homes and communities
provide innovative solutions to social isolation and loneliness, and
provide creative approaches for much-needed lifelong learning opportunities.

This seminar aims to represent the voice of older people across Wales, so that they don’t feel isolated or discriminated against and that they receive the support and services they need.

Although there are more than 2.3 million non-British EU citizens living, studying and working in the UK, very little accurate demographic information exists about this important segment of the population. With debates about the impact of migration dominating mainstream media and public discourse, it is often hard to separate fact from fiction.
The UK’s leading volunteering charity, Volunteering Matters, is teaming up with New Europeans, an association championing the rights of European citizens, to deliver Community Voices, a European Commission funded initiative that seeks to explore the impact of European migrants on communities across the UK. Community Voicescomprises a programme of six seminars in six local communities designed to examine the impact of European migrants on local services and develop a report on that impact, offering a space for discussion in the process.
