Our award categories are Innovation, Collaboration and Governance Its free to enter all you need to do is fill in a survey - to apply click here https://www.surveymonkey.com/s/ThirdSectorCafeAwards2013  Over the past 18 months we’ve heard some fantastic examples of the work that is going on in the Third Sector and we want to take some time out to celebrate it. So, we’ve created three great awards to shine a spotlight on some of the fabulous stuff that is going on at the moment.  Most Innovative Fundraising : Fundraising has been a key theme over the year and has provoked a lot of interest and charities have had to become skilled in their approach to both capture and inspire those around them to take part.  Collaboration We’ve been keen to pursue the idea of collaboration as a way forward, and looking at it as both within the sector and outside the sector. We’d be looking to see evidence of working with outside partners to achieve core aims, whereby both sides have found the experience to be beneficial.  Board / Governorship development Having good governorship is key to the success of organisations, over the course of the year we have looked at a range of different areas associated with governorship, from managing your Trust board, managing a change and turbulence and recruiting new trustees. The award would look to recognise good practice, through the recruitment of new trustees, the training and development of a trust board and the governorship practices.  To apply either email, post or tweet us the form by the 12th of December!!  - We’re looking for examples from the last 18 months - any new projects - New ways of funding existing programs - Creating new or different partnerships - Using volunteers and champions in new ways - Partnering with businesses - Developing new skill sets  We want!  - Local charities, Sheffield and the surrounding area - Local social enterprises, Sheffield and the surrounding area - Trustees to apply - Chief Execs to apply - Fundraisers to apply - Volunteers to apply Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
