Taking a few hours out for training can sometimes feel difficult when there’s already plenty to do. But investing in your own skills, and those of your staff, trustees and volunteers, can help build confidence, solve challenges and strengthen your organisation for the future.

We have a busy programme of free training and development opportunities coming up this September, including:

• Volunteer Management Essentials – practical support for anyone working with volunteers
• Developing a Communications & Marketing Plan – take a more strategic approach to reaching and engaging your audiences
• Funding 2: From Idea to Fundable Project – turn a great idea into a project ready for funding
• Safeguarding for VCS Leaders – build confidence around safeguarding responsibilities within your organisation
• Meet the Funder: EasyFundraising – discover an additional way of generating income for your organisation

You don’t need to do everything. Think about what would make the biggest difference to your organisation right now — perhaps it’s strengthening your volunteer programme, improving communications, finding funding or making new connections.

Whatever your priority, there could be something in this month’s programme to help.
