Your accounts are a valuable tool that not only tell you how well your business has performed but also why it performed as it did and, most importantly, what you can do to improve performance. This will not only enable you to increase profits but will also assist in your relationship with your Accountant and Bank.
However, understanding accounts is not a skill that comes naturally to everyone. It does need to be acquired.Thereforethis course has been designed to plug that all important gap and send you back to the office fully armed with the skills and tools you need to make better financial decisions and drive your business forwards.
As part of Norwich City Council’s aim to make Norwich a prosperous city with decent housing for all, we are renewing our housing strategy to respond to the changes and challenges taking place in the housing market. We particularly want to examine the influence housing has on economic prosperity, health and wellbeing.
Challenges facing Norwich include:
making provision for significant growth in housing and employment
making the most of opportunities presented by the new emphasis on local issues and decision-making, rather than simply responding to national and regional priorities
social housing reforms
cuts in government funding requiring us to identify new ways of supplying affordable housing
a significant proportion of privately-owned homes in poor condition
the effect of welfare reform and housing benefit changes on people’s ability to meet their housing needs
the call for more jobs and training opportunities
a growing demand for privately rented homes leading to higher rents
If you believe that you could help us to inform and shape our strategy, we would like to invite you to a workshop on 19 September 2012, between 2pm and 4pm, at the Kings Centre, King Street, Norwich.
We want to hear different perspectives on the importance of and how to respond to the above challenges. We hope that you, or a nominated representative, will be able to attend.
Please indicate your attendance by 14 September 2012 by emailing[email protected]and tell us whether you have any access or additional requirements. Further details, including the programme, will be sent to you nearer the time.
To help you to prepare,please see the attached document which summarises some key housing facts.

A distinctive new opera which saw its opening premiere in Norwich is to return for a performance to be streamed over the internet.
Angelis, composed by local musician Elizabeth Dark, is an original score and features a medieval tale of forbidden love.
The opera was first performed at the Dragon Hall earlier this year in an hour-long concert version in front of a sell-out crowd and popular acclaim.
It is now returning for two more performances in Norwich and one of the shows will be broadcast live on the web from Epic Studios.
Elizabeth is currently transforming the score and libretto into a full staged opera, which it is hoped to be ready by the end of the year.
Angelis is set in in medieval Ireland and is the story of the tragic and uplifting relationship between between Osana, a nun, and Jordain, a monk.
It is a modern musical in that it covers a wide range of musical styles and while the story is medieval, the themes and relevance is utterly modern and relevant.
The first marks on the score were made in July 2010 and the concert version of the show premiered at the Dragon Hall in Norwich, January 22nd, 2012. It was also pouplar at its performances in the 2012 Holt Festival and Wells Granary Theatre.
It is being performed on October 7th at the Walter Roy Theatre, Hewett School, Norwich, to raise money for the East Anglia Children’s Hospital.
The streamed live performance will take place on Sunday, October 21, at Epic Studios in Magdalen Street, Norwich.
Work is continuing to transform the performance into a full-scale opera, which will encompass Celtic, Latin, rock, classical and folk music.
