Welcome to our latest e-bulletin!
Are you passionate about partnering with your local community?
We believe that volunteering is a great way to strengthen local communities. Volunteering enables people to share knowledge and expertise, whilst gaining valuable new skills and a deeper understanding of the community and the environment.
If your charity or voluntary organisation would like to be paired with a SkillShare Partner, or if you would like to become a SkillShare Partner and share your skills with the local community, please contact us.
TOP 5 SKILLS – latest skills offers from our SkillShare Partners:
- Recruitment - recruiting staff takes time and costs money. Getting it right first time can be a vital way to save resources. Our Partners can help you to develop effective processes to recruit, select, appoint and induct new staff members and volunteers.
- Project Management – learn from experts how to manage activities effectively, get funded and keep your project on track.
- IT - failing to engage with technology puts charities at risk of becoming less connected and less relevant to their users. Our Partners can show you how to use technology to transform your services, improve efficiency and raise your profile.
- PR and Media - do enough people know about your organisation’s great work? If your budget doesn’t run to expensive advertising, our experts can show you how to raise your charity’s profile by accessing free public relations and editorial coverage in the media.
- First Aid Training – are your staff/volunteers trained in first aid? Are they able to cope in a crisis and help others if needed? Our experts can deliver free first aid training (and much more) for your staff and volunteers.
If your organisation would benefit from any of these skills (plus many more), please get in touch with us. We have a dedicated network of SkillShare Partners, all ready to help your organisation develop and prosper!
