Strategies for Survival

Synopsis: The last decade has seen increased growth in the voluntary and non-profit sector. This has resulted in growing competition to raise funds. The programme looks at how some organisations have coped. Part 1 illustrates how three very different organisations - the National Children’s Home, the Orchard Trust, and Stantonbury Campus - develop strategies for fund raising, and how they develop events around their strategies. Part 2 examines some of the difficulties and dilemmas voluntary organisations face in raising funds from other organisations - contributions from the National Children’s Home, TUBE (part of the Workers’ Educational Association) and the George House Trust.

At present the Open University Students Association (OUSA) will continue to sell the "Good Study Guide", and we are in discussion with other possible distributors to continue to make The Open University’s products available for purchase. As soon as we have any information on other channels of distribution we will update this notice’. Some products are still available via second hand dealers on Amazon.co.uk
