ACEVO, Third Sector, Action Planning and John Pepin & Associates have joined forces
to organise a conference to help charities escape depending on grants by generating
sustainable streams of earned income.
The ‘Earned income for charities’ conference
will be held in the Great Hall of Imperial College London on 29 September 2005 and
will bring together the Charity Commission, charities which have succeeded in generating
streams of earned income and business leaders for the commercial world to share 
their expertise of launching and growing businesses.

The programme will include case studies from the chief executives of charities which
are generating fast-growing streams of earned income.

Charity Commission Policy Director, Rosie Chapman, and Stephen Lloyd, Partner of
Bates Wells and Braithwaite, will speak on how charities can run successful businesses
whilst meeting regulatory constraints.
