Three Stockport charities are working together to increase their combined income
from their meeting rooms.
Royal Schools for the Deaf, Boys and Girls Welfare Society
and St Ann’s Hospice are pooling their combined resources to offer a referral and
booking service to outside clients looking for meeting space.

Each organisation’s facilities are sufficient to offer a variety of spaces, equipment
and services, to most clients. However, if there is no availability at a client’s
preferred venue, the booking will be referred to one of the other two establishments,
thereby retaining the client’s business within the trio of conference centres.

 

 

The venues are within three miles of each other and are located near to the M60/
M56 motorway network.

 

 

Generating additional sustainable income from a charity’s buildings and other physical
assets is a sound development, but these three organisations demonstrate that collaboration
in this area could yield even higher income.
