Book now to play an active role in this lively and engaging session, which will include a panel of six people from grassroots community organisations and the wider voluntary sector where they will assess different economic models, data, assets, social enterprises and anti-poverty action. Audience numbers have been kept purposefully low to allow for meaningful discussion and plenty of time for participants to react, share their own experience and knowledge, and assess the appropriateness of the economic model for their situations. All contributions will be captured and shared, including questionnaires and pledge cards. www.tfcpembrokeshire.org

This session will be delivered through the medium of Welsh (simultaneous translation provided). This session will present a new guide to using the Welsh language on social media – a subject which is raised regularly by voluntary sector organisations. The aim of this guide is to provide guidance and answers to some of the most frequently asked questions, including other experiences and real life examples. This is an opportunity to learn more about the guide and increase your organisation’s use of the Welsh language in a practical way. https://www.welshlanguagecommissioner.wales/businesses-and-charities
