SFP Only Connect visit scheme
The Only Connect visit scheme allows organisations to learn from colleagues in the sector about new income generation ideas.If you are new to income generation we believe you can learn a lot about what to do, or more importantly, what not to do from other organisations in the sector. The Only Connect scheme allows you to do just that.
Only Connect is a visit scheme sponsored by Triodos Bank. It enables you to visit another voluntary and community organisation (VCO) to learn about their experience and the key issues to consider when generating earned income.
How does it work?
We pay £150 for your time and travel to visit another organisation to learn about how they have diversified their income into trading or public service delivery or by using loan finance. We will pay the host organisation £200 as a consultation fee for their time spent with you.All we ask in return is that you write a report of the visit so we can allow others to share your learning.
So, if you would like to:
- Pursue a new trading idea
- Learn about the delivery of public services under contract
- Use a loan to increase the capacity of your organisation to do either of the above
