> Hello
> o Do you want to hear stories from people who are doing
> effective work in their communities without feeling restricted by
> funding agreements?
> o Do you want to learn more about what terms like ‘social
> enterprise’ and ‘social innovation’ might mean for your organisation
> and your community?
> o Do you want to hear from organisations which offer support and
> solutions to community initiatives outside of the standard funding
> model?
> Community Resource Network is organising a Forum - “Social Innovation
> and the community sector” - in Blacktown on Thursday 5 November that
