Free training courses available for VCSE organisations
Unlock your potential with free training opportunities! From digital skills to safeguarding, mental health awareness, and motivational training – there’s something for everyone.
Thanks to funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UK SPF), digital inclusion is thriving across North Yorkshire through the creation of welcoming digital hubs. Through these hubs, Digital Champions are helping individuals to thrive by building their digital skills and confidence in using online services. Digital Champions in turn are supported by a package of training covering not just digital-specific knowledge but other areas to help them. A highlight is the fully accredited two-day Mental Health First Aid course, empowering participants with vital knowledge. Delivered in partnership with North Yorkshire Council, Mind, and AbilityNet, these sessions are designed to support and inspire our communities.
There are currently spaces available on these courses so opportunities to book are now open to all VCSE organisations.
