Focusing On The Frontline - BTEG National Conference + 20 Free Bursary
Places

Building the capacity and strengthening the voice of the BME voluntary
and community sector

.. Friday 9th November
.. Haberdashers Hall, 18 West Smithfield, London EC1A 9HQ

Recently, the third sector has experienced a fast changing environment
where investment into the sector has increased expectations of how we
perform and how we demonstrate our services are making a difference to
people's lives.

Black and Minority Ethnic (BME) frontline organisations have an
essential role to play in delivering services which promote
integration and social justice. Only by the continued investment into
the BME voluntary and community sector will frontline organisations
continue to contribute towards a cohesive society where inequality is
challenged and outcomes are improved for BME communities across the
UK.

Supported by the National hubs, Focusing on the Frontline conference
will bring together policy makers as well as representatives from the
BME voluntary and community sector to talk about the relevance of the
BME third sector in tackling inequalities and social deprivation. It
will highlight the work of Capacitybuilders and the role it plays in
strengthening the sector. There will be workshops delivered by the 6
national hubs where you gain practical advice, information and
resources in areas such as performance improvement, finance and
governance.

The conference will be followed by a networking and drinks reception
where Dr Christopher Greenwood, Joint Managing Director of nfp Synergy
will talk about the launch of the new report 21st Century Donor, which
looks at how money given to charities has changed over time and
addresses the modern day approach to fundraising. I encourage you to
stay to hear about this interesting research, for some light
entertainment and the opportunity to network.
