latest training
We run a highly effective and tried-and-tested bid-writing workshop that has been delivered to staff in libraries, music educators, voluntary group members and boards of trustees. Just some of the organisations who have hosted our workshops include:
The British Science Association
The RSA
Federation of Music Services/ Music Mark
Clore Leadership short course
Welsh Music Foundation
MusicLeader
It can be run as a full day session, or reduced down to anything like a ‘masterclass’ of an hour and half, and it comes with a handout/ resource and information sheet.
To find out more please contact us.
