Our free courses are basic level, accessible, supportive, friendly and informative and run in partnership with Kent Adult Education. They are aimed at people interested in volunteering who may need a confidence boost before taking those first steps towards volunteering. They include lunch and tea and coffee. All participants receive a certificate and travel expenses.
We can also arrange for a trainer to run one-day certified courses on a number of topics.
