Our work in Barrowfield in Glasgow has taken a fascinating turn since organising a fact finding trip to Derry. Learning from the community mediation in Ireland has resulted in the ground breaking 'Camlachie Partnership' bringing local residents, politicians and support agencies together to tackle the issues facing a community living next to Celtic Park and the new Commonwealth Games Velodrome.
Just how do you successfully facilitate a workshop with 150 people and make it enjoyable, productive and just a bit different? Along with colleagues Simon Pepper and Simon Hooton this is exactly what Alan achieved on the second day of this years CCF Gathering in Glasgow.
To meet the challenges of the recession and 'new age of austerity' we are offering tailored review events, fundraising advice and business planning expertise to community based and third sector organisations. There is huge potential for organisations previously relying on grant funding to restructure to earn income and create a financially sustainable business model.
