Old Oak and Park Royal Community Charrette

INVITATION

Old Oak and Park Royal Community Charrette
Saturday 5th December, 11am-4pm
@Harlesden Methodist Church, 25 High Street, London NW10 4NE

 

The Community Charrette will be facilitated by JTP (architects and placemakers) in collaboration with London Tenants Federation, Just Space and University College London.

Through workshops and hands-on planning groups we will discuss key issues in relation to the development of Old Oak and Park Royal including how to shape a future strategy for community participation over the next 20/30 years to ensure “opportunity for all”. A key aim will be to enable the community to better and more positively respond to the forthcoming Old Oak and Park Royal Development Corporation Local Plan consultations.

A Charrette involves community members and stakeholders collaborating with professionals in a workshop setting to co-create plans and strategies for places. Charrettes are being promoted by Civic Voice, the national charity for Civic Societies in England, as a way of involving communities in shaping development processes in their areas.

Please RSVP as soon as you can to register for the event by contacting Eva Psychrani at grandunionalliance.eva@gmail.com or call/text 07784286809

A light lunch will be provided.

Charity and Social Enterprise Management Online course

Charity and social enterprise management comes to the capital

It’s been a summer of discontent for the third sector – from fundraising malpractice to the closure of Kids Company, press coverage of charities and social enterprises does all seem a bit negative. Whether or not the coverage is justified, it’s clear that the need for good management, governance and leadership has never been greater.

Against this background, Anglia Ruskin University are bringing their specialist course in Charity and Social Enterprise Management to London. The course is designed to help third sector people to develop their management and leadership capability, while also gaining a higher education qualification.

Benefits of this course include:
• Fully supported online learning.
• Optional workshops at ARU’s campus in central London in February and March.
• The opportunity to network, support and share experience with other charity and social enterprise managers.
• Study topics such as leadership & management, marketing, finance, social enterprise, HR and social impact.
• All assignments are focused on addressing real issues in the workplace, ensuring that the learner and the organisation both benefit.

Hundreds of third sector managers from all over the UK have already benefited from Anglia Ruskin’s Cert HE in Charity and Social Enterprise Management. Could you be next?
