Newlands Enterprise Professional Services
HELP IS COMING FOR LOCAL THIRD SECTOR ORGANISATIONS IN DEPRIVED NEIGHBOURHOODS
Do you need some practical support for services within your organisation? There is a new programme that might be able to help!
Newlands Enterprise will be delivering Professional Services to Third Sector Organisations on behalf of Enterprising Bradford. This programme will provide professional service support for third sector organisations (e.g. social enterprise, community groups etc) within the most deprived neighbourhoods in the Bradford District.
Newlands Enterprise, a Social Enterprise itself, is based in North Bradford delivering infrastructure support to third sector organisations. This new professional service will provide practical and professional assistance to new and growing third sector organisations.
Now the important bit....... We are asking you to complete a questionnaire to ensure we provide the services that are needed. We want to make sure we are targeting the right kind of support for your organisation.
Although some of you will not be eligible to receive professional services, we would still encourage you to complete the questionnaire to provide us with a true picture of third sector support services that are required in the district. We may be able to signpost you to other agencies for support. We would actively encourage third sector organisations to tender to provide the required services.
Please go to the Newlands Enterprise Professional Service website to find out more and complete your questionnaire
http://professionalservices.newlandsenterprise.com/
We need the questionnaires completing no later than Wednesday 29th July. Please don’t miss out on the opportunity to ask for what you want – in our experience it’s far more helpful than being given something you might not actually need!
