Coffee Morning!!!

Sobus is hosting a FREE coffee morning for local businesses on Wednesday 19th December, 2018 from 8:30am- 10am. We would like to connect with all businesses, whether you are a Start-up, Social enterprise, Charity or a Commercial business.

Given the hard time this area has suffered, the idea is for all businesses to connect, network and use our coffee mornings as a platform to be more visible and maybe serve the local community better.
We hope that monthly coffee mornings will assist businesses to work in conjunction with one another and for the potential of building new business opportunities.
This is an open invite, so please with us, welcome anyone who may benefit from this FREE business community networking event and pass it on to your colleagues/fellow businesses if you are not able to attend.

For this initial coffee morning why not come in, grab a croissant and just say hello!

Let’s take the last month of 2018 to reflect on this year’s challenges and plan for next year’s success. Whether you’re thinking about you, your team or your organisation, there’s more than one way to improve with our diverse range of training courses.

Managing Volunteers

Charities are dependent on their volunteers. But how do you ensure you recruit the right ones, with the right skills, and then nurture them so they feel rewarded and stay?

Copywriting
15 January

Learn to write well and you’ll be able to create convincing, emotional, impactful and authentic documents that keep the support and the funds coming in.

Practical Project Management
22 January

Are you new to project management? This course offers you the basics of planning, executing, managing and keeping track of good projects in the charity sector.

Emotional Intelligence for Managers and Leaders
24 January

Research now shows us how managers and leaders’ moods and actions have enormous impact on those they lead and shed new light on their ability to inspire.

Riverside Studios will reopen its doors in 2019 after a 4 year redevelopment. The new multi-arts venue, back on its old site in Queen Caroline Street and Crisp Road, will include three flexible performance spaces for theatre, dance, music and TV production. It will also have a cinema and screening room open for all, a community and rehearsal room, event spaces for hire and a display of Riverside’s archive that spans its remarkable history.

Restaurateur Sam Harrison – who owned Sam’s Brasserie in Chiswick and Harrison’s in Balham, will launch his new independent 90-seat restaurant, Sam’s Riverside next summer, and the Riverside Studios award winning Bar & Café will also open with stunning views of the River Thames and Hammersmith Bridge.

The Riverside Studios team are currently conducting some valuable audience and local resident research and need your help! Please complete this survey to give us your feedback.

You could win a meal for two and two tickets to a show of your choice at Riverside Studios when the venue reopens.

To stay up to date with the latest news from Riverside Studios and be the first to hear about building updates, career opportunities and our opening programme, you can join the Riverside Studios mailing list at the end of our survey.

LBHF logo and link

Dear colleagues,

The council believes that no one should be alone on Christmas day. Our Events team has set up a page on the Hammersmith & Fulham Hive site to fundraise for a bigger than usual lunch get together on Christmas day.

 This is particularly targeting isolated people over 55 who cannot spend the day with friends and family.

 Please let your service users know about this event, as they may know someone who wants to attend. Transport, a gift and a nice meal will be provided at Hammersmith Town Hall. People who are not in need of this may want to make a donation towards its costs – it is easy to do through the Spacehive website.

 More detail can be found by clicking here
