Looking forward to 2026 - Succession Planning for the Community (Online)

Have you thought about your community/group/organisation development over the next three to five years?   

• Who is on your board of trustees/directors?
• Who are your key staff and volunteers?
• What services/activities will you be offering?
• What happens if…?

This workshop will help you to consider some of the questions that you need to ask now in order to have a healthy and sustainable future.  Perhaps rather than ‘Succession Planning’ consider this as ‘Sustainable Development Planning’.

Course Cost

The cost per person to attend is £65.

Funded Training for charity workers

The VCSE Learning Academy offers funding for training for community workers. The VCSE Learning Academy can fund courses for people (staff and volunteers) in roles such as community workers, support workers, and social prescribers. Some eligibility criteria will apply.
