Funded Training Places for Eligible Organisations in 2023-24
Wiltshire Money has been awarded a grant from the Wiltshire Community Foundation Cost-of-Living Response Programme. This has allowed us to offer funded training places to small local organisations that meet the criteria outlined below. Please note that there are a limited number of funded places per session and places will be offered on a first-come-first-served basis. There will also be a limit on the number of funded places offered per organisation. Once all funded places are allocated subsequent registrations will be added to a waiting list. We will aim to run courses multiple times depending on the level of interest.
In order to be eligible for a funded training place you/your organisation should meet the following criteria:
- Support people who are affected by financial inclusion issues and the cost-of-living
- Be Wiltshire-based and operating at a local level
- Be a small charity or a non-profit Community Interest Company
- If your organisation is a separately constituted local branch of a larger charity, you should not have a financial relationship with their parent organisation or a local authority
- Not be a local authority employee, or a member of an organisation with a financial relationship with a local authority
- Ideally, you should be predominantly volunteer-led, however, this is not a mandatory requirement
- The annual turnover of your organisation should be less than £150k
We will require the recipients of funded places to complete a feedback and evaluation form in order to:
- Measure the extent to which those who attend are able both to apply their knowledge and share it with others in their organisation
- Gather information on the wider impact of the training
Please note that the Wiltshire Money Training Cancellation and Substitution Policy applies to Wiltshire Community Foundation-funded places.
