Jill Houston, Chair of the Convention, said: “This year the Institute has really taken stock of the challenges facing the sector in relation to the uncertainty of secure funding for core activities, the changes in the funding climate and the need for diversifying funding sources and activities, and used them to shape the convention programme.”
She added that a special rate is available for community groups and this year BT’s support meant that a limited number of bursaries were available to smaller organisations by application.
