The initial one day Programme
The Programme is usually delivered on your premises and runs from 10am to 5pm (allowing an hour for lunch). Alternatively, the Programme can be delivered over two evenings from 6 - 9 pm. However, if you have a particular regular meeting or meeting times we can usually work with these. Please contact us to discuss any particular requirements.
Diversiton is delivering measurable results with Community Organisations
Building sustainability is hard work! It requires a real commitment and sustained determination to make it happen in your organisation. You'll develop a new mindset and approach that may well challenge some old habits and assumptions. But if you are serious about the future we can stick with you every step of the way and help you make sustainability a reality within 12 months.
Here's how we typicall deliver results
- We train you and your team.
- We work with you to decide the best strategy - based upon your resources, ethos, priorities and your local situation.
- We continue working with your every week to make sure you are on track.
- We provide a training and development workshop every month to help you maximise current sustainability workpieces, coach key staff and introduce new ideas and opportunities.
So we don't just provide a one day workshop and leave you. We can stay with you (with whatever support you need) to ensure results are delivered. And the beauty of the approach is that the new revenue generated easily covers our suport costs. You build the skills, generate the funding and secure yor future - and only use us for as long as you need our input.
Sustainability is a by product
Although the focus on sustainability is often presented in terms of money, revenue and income generation it is essential to know that these come from having the right approach to meeting the needs in your local community. Sustainability is simply a by-product of doing the right things - and doing them right.
Sustainability does not turn you into a commercial organisation. Our aim is to help you to develop the skills of strategic income generation to enable you to support those most in need in your area. Your organisation becomes a role model of survival, success and achievement - and one by product of this is sustainability.
Key benefits for your Community
- ‘Work it Out!’ encourages new thinking and creativity about community work, removing the one-dimensional, traditional view of voluntary activity.
- ‘Work it Out!’ provides the assurance that the route to personal and community sustainability can be made up of small steps and a collection of achievable workpieces.
- ‘Work it Out!’ defines the skills and approaches needed to be proactive and effective in building workpieces - rather than the reactive and dependent way that groups often chase after funding for projects.
- ‘Work it Out!’ enables us to build our own community capital. We are investing in self-development, applying the experience gained in one workpiece to acquiring and completing new workpieces.
- ‘Work it Out!’ means that not all of our community development is limited to one or two projects. That dread thought, “What would happen if funding dries up?” no longer causes panic. Now we not only have other workpieces, but more importantly we have the skills, experience and contacts to create new workpieces to replace the one that is gone. Indeed, this continuous churning of workpieces within ‘Work it Out!’ is the norm - because our situation (personally and within our communities) is changing all the time.
- ‘Work it Out!’ provides a route to developing community based enterprises because workpieces can underpin partnership and collaboration.
