It's that time again. The next SE Community Forum is to be held at Gwk Camden & Islington on Friday 26th September. (10am -4pm) The workshop for the Afternoon will be on "Contracts and Partnership working". This workshop will discuss the current contracts being used by different trusts for sessional workers i.e. artists, workshops, community gardeners, setting up community garden clubs etc. The workshop will be used as an information/ best practice exchange, therefore please could you bring along an example of the type of contract you use. Please could you inform me of who will be attending the forum and I will then forward on more detailed agenda for the day.
