Strengthening Youth Work in Warwickshire
We brought the county's youth sector together for honest conversations about what youth work needs. The clearest message was an appetite for training, which led straight to the course above.
Funded by Active Communities Network through The ACN Way, facilitated by Rob Allison of FACTOR Networking and Consultancy. The Warwickshire Youth Sector Partnership grew out of the day.
