| Paul Donaldson presents Sorcha McKenna with her prize |
Recent research carried out by Belfast based business development agency, Ortus, on behalf Charity Bank has identified a need for third sector organisations to reposition themselves for sustainable investment in light of the sudden collapse in its previously assured funding streams.
The research, which has led to a tailored qualification being developed by Charity Bank in conjunction with the University of Ulster, included a consultation with third sector organisations from across Northern Ireland. Organisations were invited to comment on current trends in the sector and the issues they face. Those who replied to the consultation were entered into a prize draw for a brand new lap top, which was won by Sorcha McKenna of the Human Rights Consortium.
Paul Donaldson of Charity Bank, who presented Ms McKenna with the lap top, commented: “We at Charity Bank are happy to present the lap top in recognition of the valuable input from all of the third sector organisations who responded to the consultation. The Investment Readiness Programme is being developed to directly combat the issues raised during the consultation and promises to be an exciting new initiative, aiming to promote sustainable investment and financial management throughout the third sector in Northern Ireland.”
Programme Managers, Ortus, are currently inviting expressions of Interest from individuals and organisations who feel they would benefit from the qualification via an online form at www.readyforinvestment.org.
