Do people in your organisation need to know more about:
  • Supervisory management
  • Personal effectiveness
  • Communication
  • Managing volunteers

...or do you need to consult with someone who has mediation, teambuilding and mentoring skills?

We have been offering training on these topics for more than ten years.
We have an established track record as trainers in the voluntary sector and are pleased to offer our services throughout the UK.

Have you been involved in producing learning materials or have you written anything for publication?

Yes. We have edited a volunteer supervisor's pack for Community Service Volunteers; training packs on Volunteer Recruitment, Selection, Support, and Supervision for The National Centre For Volunteering; and provided material on Volunteer Management and on Counselling Skills for the Lampeter distance learning course on Client-Centred Volunteering. Adam May has written a distance learning module as part of the Higher Education Certificate In Volunteer Management And The Voluntary Sector course. He also writes regularly for "Volunteering" magazine.

Adam was the series consultant for Voluntary Matters 3, a series of 6 programmes made by the Media Trust for The Learning Zone on BBC2. He is also the author of 'Thinking About Diversity And Equality', a Welsh Development Agency publication. This is available for download from our 'Resources' page.

 

 

Can you help with personality clashes and managing change in organisations?

Sometimes what can appear to be a training need is actually evidence of staff resistance to change or to personality clashes in the team. We are able to facilitate discussions and exercises in a workshop setting to help people to work effectively in teams and embrace change constructively.

 

What information do you need in a training brief?

  • A description of the current situation and what you hope to gain from our intervention, e.g. what tasks people will be able to perform more effectively than before, or how they will relate differently
  • What indicators you will use to determine how effective our intervention has been
  • Some background information on your agency: brochures, briefing papers, or minutes of meetings where relevant, for example an indication of what written reports you might want following our intervention.

Answers to all of these questions are not needed right at the beginning. Often, the early stages of our work involve helping you develop the training brief. You may want to commission us to do a training needs analysis.


Email us or phone our office on 01248 421015 for further information and to arrange a discussion about how we might be able to help you meet your organisation's learning needs.
