WHO IS RUNNING THIS WORKSHOP: This session is delivered online by Claudia Demuth. As an experienced coach and trainer, Claudia helps not for profits to set up, effectively deliver, and carefully reflect on income generation/business planning approaches. During the last 20 years, Claudia has supported a wide range of charities, social enterprises and partnerships to raise funds from sources such as the National Lottery, ESF Europe or large corporates as well as acting as a critical eye for those wanting to set up great new projects. A long-standing associate for umbrella bodies such as the Law Centre Network and the School for Social Entrepreneurs, she uses expert coaching and action learning techniques to encourage people to think outside of the box. Clients really value Claudia’s ability to quickly identify organisational stumbling blocks and ask hard questions which help challenge long-held assumptions. She brings humour, empathy and patience to this sometimes painful process! With much experience in funding panels, commissioning processes, business planning and project management, she prefers to keep things as simple as possible. She enjoys helping people to discover ‘light-bulb’ momentsPlease note: You will receive your Zoom invitation with log-in details a few days prior to 17 September. <aside>HOW BOOKINGS ARE MANAGED </aside><aside>We are offering up to 30 free places for those working with Croydon residents.
