Budget 2012: How will it affect Your Organisation?

Budget 2012 is anticipated to have more serious consequences for community and voluntary organisations with another €3.8billion to be cut out of public expenditure. 

The Wheel are hosting a post-budget session on December 8th to look at the broad macro implications of the budget with independent social researcher, Brian Harvey, providing an analysis of the implications to the community and voluntary sector. This event is particularly suited for senior managers and personnel working in charities, community and voluntary organisations. This is a free event, but registration is essential.

Facilitator: Brian Harvey is an independent social researcher based in Dublin, working in the areas of poverty, social exclusion, equality, community development, the world of NGOs and European integration for voluntary and community organisations, government agencies and trusts and foundations in Ireland, Britain and continental Europe.
