About this event

  • Event lasts 2 hours 30 minutes

Thinking of setting up a group and not sure what the difference between a CIC, CIO, or incorporated group is?


This is a 2-hour workshop which will run through the different types of VCFSE structures, the steps needed to set up, and the essentials needed to run your group. The team at The Vernon Building Society and Foundation will then join us to answer any questions for the last 30 minutes, for example, on how to open a bank account with them, the grants they offer, and accessing their spaces for free.


Refreshments such as tea and coffee will be provided.


** Please note, tickets are available strictly to volunteers and employees working for Voluntary, Community, Faith based groups, Social Enterprises and charitable organisations in Stockport. If you are not part of a VCFSE / charitable organisation then your ticket will be refunded. Please get in touch if you are not sure - info@sector3sk.org **
