Hi All

Not sure if this is the right forum, but here goes.
I am a Trustee for a London-based Arts and Community Orgnanization- Charity
Status. We have 1.5 employees down from 10 a decade ago as result of public
sector cuts.

Does anyone know of either public sector, private sector or philanthropic trust
schemes that might support us with the cost of employing a Web2.0 literate
Marketing Officer? I envisage it being a 2 year rather than a permanent post.
The 2 people we have in place currenly are the Centre’s Director and half a
Youth & Education Officer (who also doubles up as our secretary and admin
person).

I am not looking for a person or a volunteer but rather sources of funds for
employing a person for upto years on either a full time or pro-rata basis. We
already have an individual in mind. We are now as part of our 3 year business
plan committed to building a micro-enterprise carnival cluster at the Centre,
in additon to our normal arts and community activities. The Marketing Officer
will also double up as our Community Enterprise officer!!!

There is a sense of urgency to this in that we are having to evacuate our
current building due to capital refurbishment for 10-12 months- we have been it
for 30 years! And this will place us at risk of losing a significant section of
our community participants unless we keep them constantly informed of, and
comforted in, the fact that their space will be back. Web 2.0 provides for this
and our education outreach efforts amongst our teenagers..

Gosh, I hope all the above made sense and that I haven’t taken for granted the
purposes of this list and your time.

Looking forward to the responses: positive and negative

My kind wishes

Ed
