Investment Readiness Programme Endorsements

"This is an exciting and innovative course that meets the challenges and opportunities facing the community and voluntary sector in the next decade. The programme offers participants an engaged model of developing their skills and knowledge but in a way that is directly applied to their work."
Dr. Brendan Murtagh, Reader in Urban Regeneration, Queens University Belfast.

"A critical part of our strategy to build an enduring capacity is to help diversify support away from a sole reliance on government grants and support a number of social enterprise models that will build practices that offer more sustainable and effective solutions to age exclusion and that provide experiences, skills and knowledge to advocate with government, the sector and the business community. This is an exciting opportunity for those interested in looking at the opportunities in this area and to increase their knowledge and expertise."
Dr. Ken Logue, Programme Executive, The Atlantic Philanthropies

"The Investment Readiness Programme for the community and voluntary sector commissioned by Charity Bank from the University of Ulster, Ortus and CIPFA is a timely and exciting initiative. The programme content looking at procurement, sources of finance and other areas such as financial and social impact measurement are important areas to be considered now and into the future. Building Change Trust is pleased to be associated with this initiative and is confident that the programme will make a real contribution to the sustainability of the sector."
Nigel McKinney, Building Change Trust
