++ Apologies for cross-posting ++
The Third Sector Research Centre and the Social Research Association announce 3 new seminars this Spring, exploring what recent research tells us about the voluntary sector in a time of change:
How are voluntary organisations and resources distributed across the country?
How are funding patterns changing?
How are organisations experiencing economic and political change?
Aimed at policy makers, practitioners and academics, the seminars will examine the quantitative and qualitative data available on the voluntary sector - and how this can help us understand the implications of policy change and the changing environment in which organisations are operating.
Each seminar features 2 presentations by experts in the field, with opportunities for questions and discussion; a maximum of 40 places will foster a relaxed and informal atmosphere. A networking sandwich lunch and refreshments are provided in the £20 price.
Detailed programme and registration for each seminar on the SRA website - http://the-sra.org.uk/events/
