CVS Additional training

If you would like to expand the skills, knowledge, abilities and agility of your team we've got you covered. We at CVS provide a variety of expert-led training opportunities, from requisite or essential training for people working or volunteering in the sector to specialist training in fields like grant writing and trusteeship. We hold both in-person and virtual training sessions (details found in each training description). All our currently available training dates are listed below.

Foundation for Funding Support

  • Are you struggling with funding?
  • Is your team more reactive than proactive?
  • Are there developments that you never have time to implement? 

As part of the CVS service we offer all members guidance on building a strong foundation for funding, this includes looking critically at your organisation and developing your strategic plan. Please contact enquiries@cvsce.org.uk to find out more.

If you would like an in-depth look at your strategy we offer paid-for consultancy services which can read more about here; Paid For Services.
