Yorkshire Bank to hold charities seminar
A leading expert in youth work in the UK will be the keynote speaker at a seminar to be hosted by Yorkshire Bank in Northampton next month.
Fiona Blacke, chief executive of the National Youth Agency, will be among the panel at the event at Yorkshire Bank’s Financial Solutions Centre in Waterside Way on Wednesday 21 April between 5.30pm and 7.15pm.
Yorkshire Bank has joined forces with Northampton-based accountants Chantrey Vellacott DFK and legal firm Hewitsons to hold the free seminar called Charities the Way Forward.
Chris Knight, head of charities at Hewitsons, will look into the whys, hows and what-ifs in his talk called Collaborations and Mergers while Elliot Harris, a partner at Chantrey Vellacott DFK, will give a presentation called Strategic Planning (forecasting), Prioritising and Collaborations and Mergers.
The seminar will be completed by Nicholas Behan and Mario Paparelli from Yorkshire Bank who will be discussing Return, Reputations and Access to Funding.
Nicholas said the National Youth Agency (NYA) works with private, public and voluntary organisations including the charitable sector to support and improve services for young people.
“Fiona is passionate about her work and has devoted her career to making sure the voices of young people are heard and that the services they need to gain training and jobs are provided,” he said.
“The NYA is a charity that was set up to work with young people through a variety of means and Fiona will be explaining about the group’s work and outlining how businesses can help.
“Running charities involves a great deal of paperwork and being up-to-date on current legislation which is why we have also invited Chris and Elliot along because they will have advice and information which is certain to prove useful.
“We think this will be a worthwhile discussion for those involved in the charitable sector in Northamptonshire and we have organised this as part of our aim of adding value to the business community in the region.”
