The FSI offers, without cost, an extensive programme of learning opportunities tailored to meet the specific needs of small charities. As part of this programme we would like to offer the following training opportunity for up to 12 delegates. Places will be allocated on a first come first served basis.

This one day course is designed to give delegates background knowledge and basic skills and tools to plan and deliver successful events. Participants will return to their organisation with a project book started, ready to develop a plan for their next event.

Target Audience

This course will benefit anyone who is new to planning and developing events.

Learning Outcomes

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Assess the most suitable event for their organisation, taking into account objectives and available resources.

• Identify the risks associated with events and take steps to mitigate these.

• Produce a budget for their event.

• Effectively market their event.

• Develop a skeletal project timeline and carry out more detailed project planning.

• Carry out suitable post-event activities, including evaluation and stewardship
