An informal session to share experiences of living or working in North Yorkshire as someone who is a minority. Organised by the North Yorkshire Black & Minority Ethnic Strategy Board, which is the only black-led group in North Yorkshire.

York Council for Voluntary Service are running their Funding Fair on 3rd November. This year it's bigger and better than ever! It promises to be a great day out, with opportunities to:

* meet funders face to face
* chat to other fundraisers and swap ideas, and
* take part in one or more of the seven free worshops

The event runs from 10am to 2pm on Monday 3 November, at the Priory Street Centre - and is free to attend. Just drop in at any time to see the exhibition area with stands from funders and support organisations.

If you would like to take part in one of the workshops, please complete and return the attached booking form. Places are limited and will be allocated on a strictly 'first come, first served' basis.

The event will provide an opportunity for organisations across the voluntary and community, statutory and private sectors to network and discuss creating inclusive services to minority groups through shared vision for the region.

Application Closing Date: Wednesday, 12/03/2007
Fees: £10

The York and North Yorkshire Data and Intelligence Partnership invite you to attend a breakfast information giving seminar, to provide partners working in York and North Yorkshire with an insight into some of the issues surrounding Migrant Workers.

This will include looking into methodological problems of collating robust data on Migrant Workers, how the Migrant Workforce affects the local labour market and what research is currently being carried out which may answer some of the questions surrounding this topic.

To book your place contact Laura Oldridge or call 01904 477970. Don't delay as there are a maximum of fifty places available.

This event is looking at how to engage with the migrant/ethnic minority population and how we can increase our own awareness of potential issues.

Cost: LSN Members £5/ Non-members £10
