Click, connect and learn with Sustainable Funding Cymru

WCVA’s Sustainable Funding Cymru (SFC) project is launching an exciting new service to third sector organisations in Wales. Their popular range of training courses for 2012 offers the opportunity to extend learning beyond the classroom by accessing and sharing materials online.

The Learning Zone provides the Welsh third sector with the ability to connect and learn online on funding and finance issues. The benefits of online learning are well documented and feedback from learners is that they wanted a more flexible way to learn.  In particular, trustees who simply don’t have the time or are unable to travel.

Learners are able to access resources prior to training and after attending an event. Specific resources can also be made available to those learners unable to attend the face-to-face sessions, who still want to find out more about sustainable funding.

To launch the site, SFC has created a short 15 minute course on Welsh Language Awareness, providing an ideal opportunity to try the Learning Zone firsthand before their forthcoming funding courses are released. Over the coming months there will be a greater number of courses available for public access and for those who attend SFC’s training sessions. Subjects include bid writing, tendering, working with outcomes, planning for trustees, raising funds for capital projects and trust fundraising.

To access the Learning Zone simply go to http://sfclearningzone.org.uk (do not add ‘www’ before the website address).
