Event description
This training session is one of a selection of Governance and Fundraising training courses delivered by the team at Brass Bands England. This course is ideal for banding organisations that aren’t currently registered charities, and those who are considering charity registration. If you are a registered charity, our Future Proofing Your Band Training Course may be a better fit for you.
What will the course cover?
During the training session, attendees will cover:
- Charity status and legal structures
- Purpose and aims of your organisation
- Roles and responsibilities
Who will be delivering the training?
This session will be delivered by BBE’s Fundraising Manager, Beth Lambert. Beth supports BBE members through our Fundraising Service, Beth joined the team in February 2023 and has enjoyed over 14 years of working within the UK charity sector, with a particular focus on fundraising, bid writing and strategy development.
Along with the 2-hour live training session on Zoom, attendees will be provided with a workbook and access to the training resources after completion. After the group session, all attendees will be offered a 1:1 follow-up with Beth for any specific areas they need further support.
Why should I attend Band Organisation Essentials?
Identifying best-practice organisational set-ups is vital in order to provide a stable and robust framework for your band’s music-making. This essential governance training for bands will:
- Give you confidence that your legal responsibilities have been met
- Help you realise your ambitions for your band and its members
- Offer an opportunity for reflection and to develop new ideas for your band
Who is the training for?
This training is ideal for a Chair, Treasurer or key decision maker of a band. To get the most out of the training we would recommend more than one person from the same band attend the session.
How much does it cost?
Band Organisation Essentials is currently only available to BBE members, at a cost of £25 per attendee.
You can join BBE from as little as £30. For information on joining BBE please visit our Join Brass Bands England page.
