The Institute of Fundraising (‘Institute’) and the CVS network in the North East
have announced a new fundraising training partnership. The Institute has developed
an innovative in-house training programme for CVSs in the North East comprising 
an accelerated version of the Certificate in Fundraising Management, tailored for
Funding Advisers.

The objectives of the partnership between the Institute and the North East CVS network
include:

· To enable Funding Advisers to challenge their existing thinking and approach to
fundraising, exposing them to new ideas and practice that can be passed on to charities
they support

· To equip Advisers with the tools to provide best practice information in accordance
with the Institute of Fundraising’s Codes of Fundraising Practice

· To build a strong base of fundraising skill and expertise throughout the CVS network
in the North East.

Amanda Shepard, Director of Professional Development at the Institute of Fundraising
says: The Institute’s partnership with CVSs in the North East gives us a great opportunity
to provide grassroots support, tailoring delivery of the Certificate in Fundraising
Management to meet the specific needs of Funding Advisers in the region.”

Belinda Lowis, Chief Officer of Chester-le-Street CVS adds: Our trainer is excellent
and really knows her stuff. This course is challenging, but the subsequent benefits
for all those involved, in terms of quality standards and enhanced reputation means
that this is of real value to us and the frontline VCS. Funding has primarily come
from ChangeUp/ Capacity builders.”
