5:00pm to 7:30pm
Holywell Diverse City Community Partnership
A free practical workshop for treasurers, or those that keep the financial records, of small charities to help them establish appropriate financial systems to keep their organisation safe.
Good financial management is an integral part of ensuring good governance as it not only helps charity trustees to fulfil their legal duties but also helps to protect the charity from mismanagement of funds. Having robust financial procedures in place will help to improve organisational capacity and effectiveness.
The focus of this workshop will be on basic record keeping and financial management including setting up and maintaining the books (income and expenditure ledger, petty cash); cash handling, understanding charity funds (restricted and unrestricted) and accounts and the role of the treasurer.
As we’re expecting a lot of demand for this training, we’re limiting places to one per organisation in the first instance and holding a waiting list for other interested members of the organisation. Please note that refreshments will be available from 4.45PM
Funded by Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland and delivered in association with North West Community Network.

6:00pm to 8:00pm
Holywell Diverse City Community Partnership
This session will take a practical approach to help trustees and personnel in voluntary and community organisations to build cyber resilience. NICVA has teamed up with industry experts to provide this tailored cyber security session that will focus on the particular challenges that face small voluntary and community organisations.
The session will include:
An overview of current cyber threats
Appropriate risk assessment practices
Practical, low cost, risk-mitigation controls
Signposting to resources and further guidance for boards, staff and volunteers
As our ability to harness technology and digital services for voluntary and community activity grows, so too does the challenge of keeping our organisations safe from cyber fraud and data breaches.
Ensuring that organisations have the resilience to face threats from malicious and indiscriminate cyber-attacks is now imperative for boards and personnel in all sectors.
Email fraud, ransomware attacks and data breaches are risks for all organisations regardless of size or sector. Local playgroups or sports clubs through to international household name charities are all vulnerable. Ensuring that we keep information about the people we work with secure is a top priority. In addition, preventing fraud and complying with regulatory requirements such as GDPR are key organisational governance issues.
Charities and voluntary organisations have an added challenge in terms of the tendency for being open and transparent about activities and finances, holding sensitive personal data, managing organisations with limited resources and an expectation to focus resources on front line services rather than back office services.
Improve your awareness of cyber security threats and help your organisation improve its cyber resilience. Please note that refreshments will be available from 5.45PM.

7Building Resilience, Self-care and Compassion in your organisation
Who?
The CLEAR Project, in conjunction with the Public Health Agency (PHA) invite community and voluntary groups to attend a workshop on ‘Building Resilience, Self-Care and Compassion in your organisation’.
What is it?
Professional quality of life is the quality one feels in relation to their work as a helper. Both the positive and negative aspects of doing your work influence your professional quality of life.
“The expectation that we can be immersed in suffering and loss daily and not be touched by it is as unrealistic as expecting to be able to walk through the water without getting wet.” Remen
Understanding the positive and negative aspects of helping those who experience trauma and suffering can improve your ability to help them and your ability to keep your own balance.
When / where?
All workshops run from 10am – 1pm (Registration from 9.45 am)
Introduce strategies to build resilience and compassion personally and within your organisation
Facilitated by Marie Dunne and Judy Mills (Resilio)
Why?
The PHA quality standards for services promoting mental and emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention, under employment and volunteering structures, outline that clear support and supervision arrangements are in place. What this might mean in practice is the organisational ethos of promoting mental health and wellbeing of staff and volunteers.
The standards also promote self-care which is about individuals taking responsibility for their own physical as well as mental and emotional wellbeing, and involves individuals being mindful of their own health, self and happiness.
To register for any of the Building Resilience, Self-care and Compassion in your organisation workshops please see Eventbrite details above Note: The PHA quality standards for services promoting mental and emotional wellbeing and suicide prevention can be downloaded from http://bit.ly/MHstandards
In the afternoon, following the workshops, there is an opportunity for a one-to-one session on the standards. This session will help you to reflect on how your organisation has completed the standards worksheets and the evidence provided.
As part of our 'Better Business' Series of workshops, Enterprise NW are running another masterclass: Basics to Launching your business online.

Are you planning any conferences, seminars or similar type meetings in the New Year? Then Pin Boards might be just what you're looking for! Pin Boards bring that extra special dynamic to your meeting, conference, seminar or event.
Pin Boards are an invaluable multi-purpose tool for supporting meetings, workshops, exhibitions, conferences, training programmes and seminars. They are free-standing and support your group needs especially when space and time is at a premium and seeing 'the bigger picture' is necessary by offering a panoramic view not afforded by the humble flipchart which also helps to encourage greater input from staff and volunteers.
Pin Boards are lightweight, mobile, flexible, durable, easily transportable and environmentally friendly. They have a wide variety of use, are lighter than most flipchart stands yet can hold up to four times the capacity allowing you to reference both current and previous notes at the same time rather than wasting time searching back and forth through numerous pages.
Pin Boards can be used as room dividers by creating a multitude of break-out space and can be adapted for 'Visual Harvesting' (Graphic Facilitation).They also act as a substitute for wall mounts ensuring no damage to venue through the use Blue-Tac or sticky tape and thus help to reduce costs of materials. Each board comes with fold-back clips, protective cover and pins.
Pin Boards are available for hire to groups, organisations and businesses across the voluntary, statutory and corporate sectors. We will deliver the boards to your setting, set them up and return to collect them. You can hire the boards for as long as you want and there are no hidden costs - you pay per board per session, e.g., one session equates to a morning, an afternoon or an evening.
Imagining October - Film Screening
Wednesday 8 January, 7pm
Void will screen Imagining October (1984). In this film Jarman explores art and politics in the final years of the Cold War, drawing connections between pre-Perestroika Russia and Thatcherite Britain. The title refers to the 1917 Bolshevik revolution and Sergei Eisenstein's propaganda film October: Ten Days That Shook the World 1928.
We are delighted to welcome Michael Charlesworth and Francesca Balboni to Void. Michael and Francesca come from the University of Texas, Austin and both will explore Jarman’s works that are currently on display in Void. Michael will mediate on the GBH paintings, the context of their making, and how they fit in to Jarman's painting as a whole and Francesca will present her paper on Jarman’s The Last of England.
Poetry evening with spoken word artist Frank Rafferty Wednesday 15th January, 6:30pm
