Aim to provide learning to people in the community and voluntary sector in Brighton and Hove, through the provision of training and accreditation of learning to paid workers volunteers, community activists and members of management committees.
In order to achieve our aims, we ;
Undertake research into existing training provision, identify gaps and examine why people are not taking up opportunities.
Provide a rolling programme of training for community groups and voluntary organisations advertised across Brighton & Hove.
Provide an outreach service to community groups and community activists.
Engage learners from community groups in meaningful training and learning who, otherwise would not participate in courses and further training.
Design community based courses with clusters of community groups that both offer skills to community activists and enable these volunteer activists to develop and improve their communities.
Ensure that there is a clear progression route from community-based courses to the rolling programmes of training.
