Generating income

About this event

Following mentions from Workplace, regional meetings, annual check-ins, and other discussions from Healthwatch around the sustainability and the requirement for additional income generation. We are keen to bring together Healthwatch to share examples of how they generate additional income that supplements their Healthwatch provisions, share developing ideas, and where to look for funding or what to look out for that might result in funding being available.

Healthwatch Islington and Healthwatch Norfolk will be sharing their models during this webinar, covering what they have done and what they have achieved to assist others. Their approaches have been different, and they are just two examples thus, we would like to hear from as many others as part of the webinar.

Type of event

This is a discussion session, so please come prepared to listen to others and share any good ideas or examples, too.

Some questions to consider prior to the webinar:

1. If you have generated any additional income:

o How was this achieved? Where was this available?

o Has there been any regular projects/contracts that have supplemented you?

o How did you ensure this fit with what you wish to achieve as an organisation?

2. If you have not generated any/much additional income, what key questions would you like advice on to assist in this?

Who is the event for?
