Felicity Weekes, CMDS operations manager, said: “We were fully booked within three days, with another 56 organisations on the waiting list. We thank the organisers and participants, all of whom shared their expertise at no cost.”The day-long programme covered topics such as social media to support fundraising; financial sustainability through investments; financial management and compliance; and data security. Inyathelo operations director Feryal Domingo said: “The centre was bustling with activity and it was a wonderful opportunity to network and build up skills.”
