The Association of Jersey Charities is providing a series of training opportunities to all charities in Jersey.  This training has been initiated by the Jersey Funders Group (JFG) - a group of the biggest charitable funders in the island.

Funders know how hard Jersey charities work to enrich community life in the Island and we are proud to support this fantastic effort. But not all charities are good at really describing the difference they make. Members of the JFG want to help charities describe the impact of their work - this will help us to ensure that our funds are awarded to the work which will bring the greatest benefit to where it is needed.

Funders do not want to add to the administrative burden of the charities they support and so this training will offer a simple method of demonstrating the impact of services and it should become part of all grant applications. All funders will ask for the same information about expected outcomes when grant applications are made. When the Government of Jersey commissions services, it will also move to the same method of measuring outcomes.

The AJC is offering two different user-friendly sessions: 

• a one hour seminar which will offer an overview of the methodology for measuring the impact - or difference - a service will make. This should be attended by trustees, governors or directors of charities - anyone who is not directly involved in writing grant applications but who should have an understanding of what grant funders will be asking for and can make the necessary resources available to anyone making an application in their organisation;
• a two hour workshop which will include an overview of the methodology and practical support in explaining how to provide the information that funders will be asking for in future.

We look forward to seeing you at what we hope will be enjoyable, thought-provoking and - above all - helpful events.

The free sessions will be delivered by Mary Curtis of Calmera Business Consultancy at St Paul’s Centre at the following times and dates, subject of course to any change in Covid restrictions in place at the time:

Booking conditions under Covid restrictions

The sessions need a minimum of 10 participants to go ahead – which is also the maximum number of attendees allowed under current Covid restrictions. If your chosen date(s) are already full, there are 5 further places on a waiting list. If you book and cannot attend, please cancel the booking to release the place to someone on the waiting list. Please only book one participant per charity at any session – we need a mix of representation from small to large charities across sectors to encourage discussion. Please ensure the booking is in the name of the participant. If Covid restrictions change and we can accommodate more than 10 people, we allocate places to anyone on the waiting list. If the session has to be cancelled, we will give as much notice as possible and you will have priority on re-booking.

We have arranged the following training, provided by Anne King of the Office of the Information Commissioner, at no cost to you - “Data Protection Checklist & Guidance for Charities”.

Jane Galloway of http://www.arclightsolutions.co.uk/ has prepared 3 short webinars on fundraising, 'A Case for Support'. Jane was due to come to the island last month, so instead has prepared these 3 webinars on a subject close to every charity's heart at the moment, how to raise funds for your cause. You will find out how to create a great ‘Case for support’ that will win hearts and minds, covering topics such as:

• What to include
• Who it is for
• What it might look like

They are each approximately 20 minutes long and you can dip in and out of these 3 at your leisure, at home. You can also speed them up, I would suggest no faster than 1.25, otherwise she sounds like a chipmunk!

Once you are satisfied, and have some questions, you can join the live Q & A session on Thursday 30^th July beginning at 5pm, for approximately one hour. Even if you have no questions, join in the Q & A as you may learn even more.
