Income Diversification

With funding under pressure, developing a broader and more resilient mix of income has never been more important.

This session will help social enterprises explore realistic opportunities to generate income from their existing skills, services, assets and audiences.

From trading, training and consultancy to e-commerce, events, regular giving, sponsorship and corporate partnerships, participants will consider what could work for their organisation and identify one or two opportunities worth developing further.
