Hounslow Voluntary Sector Learning Bank
The newly launched Hounslow Voluntary Sector Learning Bank has been created as a “One Stop Shop” providing local groups with useful information and resources to support their work.
The Learning Bank has been divided into four sections and each section has lots of useful links as well as local groups offering their knowledge too.
The four sections are E-Learning and Free Training, Toolkits for Groups, Ideas from Local Groups and Free stuff for Groups.
The Learning Bank aims to allow local groups to share their ideas and useful knowledge of resources. Information could include a free service that you have used and found very useful, organisations offering free professional volunteering to groups or anything that you feel would be useful for other groups to be aware off. Simply email your ideas to iain@ealingcvs.org.uk and they will be posted in the section. To see the Learning Bank go to: https://ehcvs.org.uk/resources-for-local-groups/
