Advice

The Citizen's Advice Bureau in Dungannon CAB provides an advice service, which is flexible and responsive to the needs of communities and individuals. Advice is free, confidential, impartial and available to everybody regardless of race, sex, belief or disability.

NetWORKS aims to increase the efficiency, sustainability, and skill base of Social Enterprise projects and stimulate the formation of new cross border-trading and community alliances that impact socially and economically in both Northern Ireland and the border region of Ireland.

NetWORKS covers all of Northern Ireland and the six border counties of Donegal, Sligo, Leitrim, Cavan, Monaghan, and Louth.

Any community based group within the specified region who have been trading (generating some form of income) for at least two years, and have as a core objective to become commercially sustainable. UCIT Loan holders are also eligible to participate in this programme.

The programme content is very much geared toward the needs of the participants and therefore has no fixed topics. However, topics covered to date have included, finance & fundraising, corporate governance & the role of the board, marketing communications, strategic planning, and project development.
