In this 1hr, on-line session, we will be looking in more detail at using a Social Accounting Methodology to develop a framework to map and measure your impact.

Join Adrian Ashton – social enterprise and charities consultant for over 15 years – to explore cash flow forecasting for your social enterprise.
The key to operating a successful social enterprise is a diverse and robust model of income generation; including trading, investment and some grant funding. Key to developing that model is a solid plan – a cashflow forecast.
Investors and funders alike need to see that your business has a forecast that makes sense – Adrian can talk you through the best approach to achieving this, ensuring your forecast complements and builds on your business plan.
This will be a small group workshop, providing lots of opportunity for chat, both with Adrian and other social enterprise peers.
