Places for Everyone workshops in October and November Places for Everyone is an exciting programme designed to help third sector organisations explore and progress their capital development plans. If your future aspirations involve a building project – perhaps a refurbishment or new build or you are interested in finding out more about the process involved then Places for Everyone may be just what you’re looking for. Developed by PNE Development, the Development Trusts Association (DTA), Mosedale Gillatt Architects (MGA) and Pentagon Partnership, and supported by One North East, the programme features a range of support options including:
For just a small cost of £50 +VAT (£58.75) you can access the programme. The initial phase of the programme consists of ‘An Introduction to the Capital Development Process’ workshop which will ultimately help guide Third Sector organisations through the key stages of any capital development project. The aim of the workshop is to help your organisation make informed decisions about its capital development plans. Following this you could access one-to-one support and specialist expertise to help you to move your plans forward. Along with the one-to-one support, the longer term aim of the programme is to help organisations to secure funding towards feasibility studies and enable access to our Bank of Expertise. If you are interested in joining the programme please email development@pne.org for an application form or contact PNE Development on 0191 261 6009 for more information. Upcoming Workshops
