What you will learn

WORKSHOP FORMAT

Workshops consist of talk, discussions, questions and answers. There are no power points or audio visuals used. Each workshop follows a script. By using scripts more topics can be covered in less time with complete accuracy. If you don't like listening to someone talk then you won't enjoy the workshop. Participants are sent a full copy of the script by email after the workshop. Many participants have found it useful to have a copy of a script which matched word for word what was said on the workshop.

What you require

PARTICIPANTS

Staff members, volunteers, trustees or board members of charities, schools, not for profits or public sector organisations who are seeking to attract or boost legacy fundraising income. People who provide advice to these organisations are also welcome.
