FREE Results Based Accountability(TM) Training Opportunity

There will be an opportunity to access a full day training to explain Results Based Accountability^TM

This approach will become much more important, especially, for those organisations seeking funding from statutory agencies, and probably, in time the Big Lottery.

Training is being provided for those working with children and young people across Powys, Pembrokeshire, Camarthenshire and Ceredigion.  It is likely to be held somewhere between Llandovery and Camarthen but well worth the journey.  There isn't a date set yet but we need to know how many would be interested in attending.

David Burnby will be facilitating the training and it will be free of charge but is only available once.

Visit his website for further information:  http://davidburnby.co.uk/
this site includes materials available in Welsh Language.

IF YOU ARE INTERESTED IN ATTENDING THIS FREE EVENT PLEASE CONTACT PAVO:  
email:  info@pavo.org.uk or phone with your details.

Trustee Vacancy for Brecknock Play Network

Brecknock Play Network

TRUSTEE VACANCY

Brecknock Play Network is a voluntary association of enthusiastic people committed to developing facilities for integrated play among the rural communities and towns of Brecknock. 

We are managed by a committee of unpaid trustees.  Although we employ staff to support the trustees and to provide our services, we rely heavily on the generosity of people to give us time to manage the organisation.

We support parents / carers and other organisations that work with children and young people - Out-of-school clubs, play schemes, playgroups, nurseries, child minders, carers, child groups, schools, community groups, local and national child-centred organisations.  We provide information, training and resources to new and existing groups.

We operate play and leisure activities for children and young people, with a range of abilities and needs, from birth to 19 years in the Breconshire area.

 DO YOU FEEL YOU WOULD LIKE TO HELP US?
