Thought about a business plan and the importance of having one? It might be something you want for funding or to support your legal registration, but a plan can provide you with much more.

Developing or reviewing one allows you to step out of the day-to-day running of your group and think about the bigger picture, reflect on what you have achieved and help you plan for the future. This bite-sized training and workbook will show you

• What you are trying to achieve
• How to deliver services
• How to monitor, evaluate and review your activities
• Your current strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats.
• How much money do you need to run smoothly
• What’s on around you and how to interact with other people and groups.

If you have a business plan that hasn’t been reviewed recently, or you haven’t yet started one, this training will allow you to look at the skills, knowledge and experience you have in place or may need to develop. It will enable you to explain clearly and effectively to others what you intend to provide and how it will be delivered.
