The Change Agenda: Money

Funding is a sore point for me. Either there isn't any, or securing funding requires a long lead time (eg. the new CF.com website - planned out in detail, but getting it to this stage has taken almost 14 months)

A few points RE funding:

  • EITHER, the NME must be given control of a modest discretionary budget
  • OR, the NME must address finding its own funding for the purposes of keeping a fighting fund, to contribute towards expenses
  • In general branches and areas must be self-sufficient, this also applies to funding
  • Training and sharing of best practice, will be provided by the NME to ensure that branch and area chairs can do this. Better fundraising techniques will be a constantly updated source of info from the exec.
  • Central funding towards larger projects on a regional level will be determined, in the style of the 'fresher's packs' for students, aimed at giving CF a standard level of professionalism across the regions.

That's all very well, but your picture of money doesn't seem to have any pound coins in it. Do you propose we get our money from Europe? Are you some sort of filthy federast?

A tribute to the 'lost' currencies of Europe, sadly no more after the emergence of the all-consuming Euro.

            I am one of the few Northern Irish members of CF in the country, having joined at University in Salford, Greater Manchester. I now live in London, working for the party in the London Assembly. I am an activist, who believes that CF’s greatest contribution to the party would be to get stuck in with the campaigning. I also work as editor for the CF website, CF TV and CF Net.
