East Cornwall Council for Voluntary Service started a new project called ‘Training for the Future’ which is funded by the Big Lottery in October 2009. This 3 year funding allows us to offer FREE training to any voluntary, community group or individual. East Cornwall CVS can tailor our training to meet the needs of these groups, as long as there is a minimum of 6 individuals. If none of the training below fits with your identified training needs, please contact Vicki Horner on 01208 832763 or v.horner@eccvs.org.uk to discuss these further. We have lots to offer!

The following are FREE to any voluntary, community group or individual and there will be a small charge of £25.00 to large charities (income of more than £500,000), statutory and private organisations.
