ruth jones: real training for youth arts leaders
involved in project work
2008 dates @ The Watershed, Bristol
“Its as if a light bulb has gone on in my head…I have been doing this for
years but now feel really confident about budgeting and fundraising for the
first time ever” - music education worker
These informal, accessible courses aim to pass on knowledge and techniques which will
inspire, empower and motivate. Participants will feel confident that they have the
knowledge and information they need to develop and put into practice their youth arts
management, budgeting, fundraising, or marketing skills.
The aim of all training sessions is to provide clear-cut guidance for turning good project
ideas/concepts into successful reality. All sessions stand alone as separate training
days, but ideally trainees would benefit from attending each session in turn.

youth arts or music project – don’t lose the plot – get one! For beginners or
“brushers up”. You have the great idea already – now get it onto paper to
get it off the ground……
14th May building a budget: a straightforward practical journey through
building a budget from scratch – easy as ABC, 123…. Arrive with a project idea
(or use case study provided) and leave with your first draft budget!

from & how to get it – from someone who knows! Are the best fundraisers people
who are not fundraisers?…….your trainer thinks so!
