The African OD Programme will be running a series of seminars over the next few months.

These seminars seek to supplement the ‘hard skills’ of financial management, fundraising and business planning with the ‘soft skills’ that are equally as important in ensuring the success of your organisation.

This information is taken from the guide ’What equality law means for your voluntary and community sector organisation (including charities and religion or belief organisations)' produced by EHRC and can be downloaded from the EHRC website.

The guide is for voluntary or community sector organisations, charities or religion and belief organisations that provide any goods, facilities or services to members of the public.

Background to ‘Our Shared Future’

In June 2007 the commissioned report ‘Our Shared Future’ was published by the Commission on Integration and Cohesion.

The report was produced following research and a series of consultations with communities across the country and highlights the importance integration and cohesion which should no longer be purely about race, faith or other forms of group status or identity. Integration and cohesion is about how everyone can get along and achieve benefits which are mutually desirable for all.
