The workshops will be run by Roy Sully who, as a qualified librarian and experienced fundraiser, was formerly Head of Development Office at the British Library. Roy is also currently revising "A guide to additional sources of funding and revenue for libraries and archives". The courses will equip participants with the knowledge and confidence to make effective funding applications, not only to the British Library but also to other funding organisations. The workshops will be relevant to a wide range of institutions, not just to those working in libraries, although where possible examples will be drawn from the library and archive world to illustrate the principles being taught. The workshops will include the following: * principles of good fund-raising * project definition * project management * developing an effective case * project costing and budget control * working with a partner organisation * research and writing skills * acknowledging donors * project monitoring There will be two workshops: at The British Library, 96 Euston Road, London on Friday 8th October at Sheffield Hallam University, Sheffield, on Friday 15th October Each workshop will begin at 10.15am (registration) and finish by 4.00pm. There will be no charge for attendance. Because places are limited, and demand anticipated to be high, there will be a maximum of 2 places allowed per institution. Lunch/tea/coffee will be provided. Once a place has been allocated to you, please let us know as soon as possible if you are unable to attend.
