Additional Training

In addition to our sector-specific training programme, there is further training available to support your organisation, improve your life skills, find out more about volunteering or if you would like to take the next step towards more advanced training on the Voluntary Sector.

Our experienced Membership Services Team can offer advice and support covering all aspects of running your group.

We have written a series of information sheets and resources that can get you started if you feel confident on your own. If you would like to talk through any queries, or would like some support forming your group, then join CVS and our expert team can support you and your organisation with information, advice and guidance via the phone, email or in person.
