An Introduction to VCSE Leadership Barriers and How to Overcome Them

The workshop will include the following barriers that leaders in the charity and non-profit sector face:

• Time – How do you create space to develop strategies and look at the future when you are coping with all the operational activities you need to keep up with.
• Trustees – Getting the right trustees for the right stage of your organisation. How do you manage this?
• Finance – a lack of or unstable funding can be a huge challenge. How do you remain resilient?
• Vision – How do you bring people on board with the vision? How do you elevate your pitch to do this?
