Welcome to the VCSA Training Resource Hub – a dedicated space bringing together all the materials, tools and guidance from the Shropshire VCSE training programme delivered in partnership with PwC, Community Resource and Shropshire Council.
These resources were created in direct response to what VCSE organisations told us they needed most: clear, practical support to build confidence, improve resilience and strengthen capability across the sector.
All materials are free to access, share and reuse within your organisation.
