Time:

8:30 AM - 11:00 AM

Description:

Charity campaigners - use our networking breakfast seminars to meet MPs, thinktanks, PRs, consultants and seasoned charity campaigners to discuss the inevitable changes for charities campaigning for change in the new politics.

Westminster's new landscape

What difference will the new political landscape make to you and your charity’s campaigning?
If lobbying's “the next political scandal” and the new government’s changes are kicking in, how are you going to influence decisionmakers? Who's in the new government, committees and working groups and how will charities have to change their approach? Are others making the same decisions as you?

With new scrutiny on lobbying, public spending cuts and a looming Public Spending Review, and policies including the Big Society opening up charities to an ever-increasing role in public life, join colleagues and experts for round-table discussions and networking. Get the lowdown on the issues, discuss your approaches and what has to change, get breakfast into the bargain and be back at your desk by midday; refreshed, informed and networked.
