Find out what's going on and how to get involved

The association of Jersey Charities aims to provide professional training to attendees on subjects relevant to any organisation in the charitable and voluntary sectors. We offer a combination of free Talks to our members and training support.

MONTHLY MEMBERS TALK

As part of our training and development offering, we have set up monthly talks with industry experts. These will be on the 4th Wednesday of each month, from 1.10 pm to 1.50 pm, at NatWest, Library Place, second floor meeting room. These sessions are accessible to members, but numbers are limited, so a booking form will be available once each talk is arranged.

PRICING FOR TRAINING

Association of Jersey Charities members receive a significant discount on the cost to facilitate the training. We also offer a full-price option for non-members but encourage people to consider joining as a member to gain value.

OBA Training and OBA in Action

Outcome Based Accountability™ (OBA) is a disciplined way of thinking and taking action that service planners and communities can use to design and monitor strategies to improve the lives of children, families and communities and as the basis for commissioning and improving the performance of projects, programmes and services.

Uniquely, OBA makes a clear distinction between accountability to partners and stakeholders for strategies to improve quality of life for whole populations, and the accountability of service providers and commissioners for the impact of individual services and interventions on their client populations, effectively separating means from ends.

This session is funded and recommended by the Jersey Funder Group https://jerseyfundersgroup.org/ - Outcomes Based Accountability in Theory and Practice

DATES :
OBA Training with Mary Curtis, Tuesday 20th January 9.30 to 11.30 the Board Room, Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

OBA in Action with Fiona Vacher, Tuesday 3rd February 9.30 to 11.30 the Chill Out Room, Pip's Place, Union Street, St Helier

COST :

£40 payable in advance and refundable on attending both sessions.

Please email lyn@jerseycharities.org to book and for payment instructions.

This training helps you understand the basic OBA principles, expressing and measuring how your charity "makes a difference" and how you can utilise this approach in planning and grant applications.

Delivered in two parts (2 Hours each) with the first session introducing you to what an OBA approach is and why you would adopt it in your charity.

Who should attend?

This workshop is aimed at people who are responsible for business development or fundraising in their organisation, including senior leaders, chief executives, chairs, and trustees. No prior knowledge of OBA principles is required.

Who delivers the training?

This charity-specific training is delivered in two sessions. The first session focuses on OBA Theory , delivered by Mary Curtis who has over 20 years experience in human resources and training and development.

The second session is delivered by Fiona Vacher, CEO of Jersey Child Care Trust, who shares her charities journey and positive transformation since implementing OBA.
