nicvanews December/January 2011-12

So, with another year drawing to a close and thoughts already turning to what the New Year will bring we look forward in this issue of nicvanews to some of the events and training opportunities on offer over the coming months.

Check out pages 18-23 for further details and the new Vital Links training calendar included with this issue.

Also in this issue read about two of the inspiring community groups taking part in the Community Leadership Programme and their work on engagement within their communities.

For all those interested in finances Sector Matters has some great advice on budget planning and setting and tasks for the next couple of months and, of course, you can read about those all important funding opportunities from page 30.

As always we have included plenty of updates on the work NICVA is undertaking, but there is also plenty of news from around the sector and a profile of our featured Member - VOYPIC.

I hope you enjoy our bumper issue of nicvanews and please remember that if you have an issue to highlight please get in touch.

Finally, this is the last nicvanews before Christmas. We will return in February 2012 with all the latest news and updates. Until then you can keep up to date through eNews.
