A day of inspiration, learning and connection around fundraising for work with young people in Brent.

It takes a village to raise the next generation of creative minds. At this Vi-Brent Network meeting, we’re bringing together the cultural sector to ask: how can we unlock more funding to support young people in Brent? And how can we do it in ways that are imaginative, collaborative, and built to last?

Join us for a day of energising conversation and shared problem-solving. We’ll be thinking together about:

• How to share resources and reach new partners
• Why and how to build partnership (new and existing)
• What skills, knowledge and connections we need to take our fundraising to the next level
• How we can harness our different strengths to build a collective movement for sustainable change

Expect action-focused sessions, inspiring speakers (to be announced), and plenty of time to connect with others working across Brent’s vibrant cultural landscape.

Who is it for?

This event is open to anyone working in the cultural and creative sector in Brent. Plus, a limited number of spaces are also available for those based outside the borough:

• Free for individuals and organisations based in Brent*

Whether you’re an artist, producer, fundraiser, educator, or cultural leader, if you care about building a better future for Brent’s young people, we want you in the room.
