The Big Lottery Fund and West Berkshire Council have arranged an October series of free web-based sessions on the Awards for All and Reaching Communities funds. Training is interactive and provides an opportunity to learn in a place that suits you without the expense and time of travel. Access to a PC or laptop with internet connection, headphones and a microphone (optional) is needed in order to take part. Sessions are open to groups anywhere in the country. Thanks to the excellent SYFAB for highlighting.
