Autumn/Winter 2021/2022
All RedbridgeCVS’s training is designed to upskill staff and volunteers, while increasing organisational resilience. For autumn/winter 2021-22 we are delighted to bring you a programme of training, including brand new courses, that build on your learning as you progress through each series. Some will be in-venue (all being well), and others online. We look forward to welcoming you.
Training fees
Training is free for RedbridgeCVS member organisations.
For the past year we have been able to offer training free to all, to help local organisations cope with the effects of the pandemic. From October we are continuing our support with free training to RedbridgeCVS members, and reduced fees for non-members compared to 2019/20.
As well as free courses for members, courses are free for volunteers signed up with Volunteer Centre Redbridge. Please note: you must be 19 or over and live in London. Any difficulty, please contact 07494 898892.
