Training Support for micro and small organisations
Earlier this year, Action Together launched a new core and enhanced Training Offer for our members.
We are committed to supporting the growth and development of our member organisations, and believe that by investing in the skills and capacity of our workforce, we can create a stronger, more resilient sector that drives positive change and transforms lives.
Our flexible learning opportunities are delivered via a mix of in-person, online, and hybrid training sessions and workshops.
