Training: Current Training Programmes
We provide training to community groups and voluntary organisations in Sussex. All our training events respond directly to outreach and ongoing consultation with local community groups and voluntary organisations.  Please do regularly let us know what training you are interested in as we only run training that groups tell us they want.

The training is free (unless stated otherwise) for community activists, volunteers, paid workers and management committee members and is delivered in community venues.
