Welsh voluntary organisations, large and small, will find out about the funding future of their sector at a national conference next month. The 2008 third sector funding conference takes place on Wednesday 8 October at Venue Cymru in Llandudno. The conference will provide delegates with the opportunity to meet representatives of over 20 funders of the third sector in Wales, as well as hear keynote speeches and attend workshops on some of the most challenging issues facing voluntary organisations. WCVA Chief Executive Graham Benfield OBE will open the conference with his take on the situation facing voluntary organisations and some predictions for the future. Delegates will also hear first-hand about the future of European funding programmes from Gretel Leeb, a director at the Wales European Funding Office. In addition, there are also keynote sessions on the latest in fundraising, getting funding from business, grant making trusts and a choice of practical workshops. The conference is essential for anyone involved in the funding or fundraising future of their organisation and those responsible for strategic development and management in the third sector. Hard copies of programme/booking form can be requested from the WCVA Helpdesk on 0800 2888 329 or help@wcva.org.uk.
