Resource for Black organisations published

The National Institute of Adult and Continuing Education (NIACE) has published Fail to Plan: Plan to Fail, a toolkit to help black voluntary and community organisations obtain funding.

Lenford White, the author of the toolkit and NIACE's Race Equality Development Officer, believes that the toolkit will help Black organisations by 'suggesting the necessary ingredients of experience, funding and good practice that are most likely to enable an organisation to sustain its services'. It is particularly aimed at organisations working on adult and community learning.

The toolkit was developed out of meetings across the country to establish what workers in Black voluntary organisations would like to see in a resource of this kind. It contains chapters on:

Preparing funding applications, with real examples
How to make sense of government policy
Sources of funding opportunities
Making use of support networks
Listings of useful organisations and other resources

Fail to Plan: Plan to Fail is available, price £20.00 plus £2.00 UK postage and packing, from: NIACE, 21 De Montfort Street, Leicester LE1 7GE. Tel: 0116 204 4216. Email: orders@niace.org.uk.
