The scrutiny of fundraising practice over the last year has been unprecedented. With the new Fundraising Regulator soon to issue new guidance, the Information Commissioner’s Direct Marketing Code of Practice already in place, and new Data Protection laws likely in the near future, this webinar will look at the key issues facing all fundraisers, what the future is likely to hold…and how you can best prepare now for the changes ahead.
Join them for this webinar as they provide clarity around what these data protection changes mean for you.
On the webinar, you will discover:

Community Grants
NHS England’s ‘celebrating participation in healthcare’ community grants scheme has opened for its second year. Grants of up to £1000 are available to voluntary organisations who want to showcase how they have been working with patients and the public to involve them in health services.
The community grants will be awarded to organisations who want to tell the story of their patient and citizen participation work in a creative and appealing way. This could be through film, photo or audio books, leaflets and posters, graphics or comics – it’s up to the organisation to choose what works best for their project! The final product must be something that highlights best practice and can be shared with others to encourage them to involve patients and the public.
Applicants will need to tell NHS England about the successful project they would like to highlight and how they will use the grant to showcase this work. You can apply for the grants online and the deadline for submission is Wednesday 21st September 2016.
NHS England knows that patient groups, voluntary sector organisations and community groups all over England are involved in shaping and improving health services. By sharing examples of good practice NHS England can highlight the innovative ways that people are getting involved in their health and care.
The grant scheme first ran in 2015. Find out more about last year’s projects.
