MID Programme of the month – Self Employment Supports

If you have ever thought about starting your own business there has never been a better time to pursue this option. Monaghan Integrated Development provides free training and support for your journey to self employment. For more info contact Margaret on 042 – 9749500.

Tip of the Month – Transparency

Transparency for voluntary groups has never been more important. Everything from money to membership can become a hot topic leading to stress for club members and volunteers. If money is raised do people know how it is being spent? If there is a membership policy is this publicly available? Consider transparency at every juncture to avoid conflict in the long run!
