Is it for me?

Are you involved in some sort of community perhaps through a club, your workplace, a faith group, a voluntary group, a forum, or an association?

Are you passionate about making our communities more inclusive, connected and equitable places for all but not sure where to start or want to gain new skills?

If you answered “yes” this training has been designed for you. We particularly want to encourage people who might think twice before joining a training like this such as those with special educational needs or who don’t always feel confident speaking up in group activities.

The training day will be completely free, lunch and refreshments will be provided. Travel costs up to £15 per person can be reimbursed.

The workshop is run by Protection Approaches, a UK charity working to challenge identity-based violence through community-led and inspired action.
