Our Grants in Action
Watford Women's Centre
One team member shared:
"That kind of training really suits me. I don’t like being talked at with a PowerPoint, but I’m likely to remember everything I learnt today."
The team said the course helped their confidence and they left feeling better equipped to deal with an emergency.
This is a great example of how small grants can create lasting impact.
Feedback from previous grant applicants
“The team found the course to be hugely beneficial and greatly appreciated the input of a highly skilled and experienced trainer in the field. It has given us a large amount of resources which can be used to deliver educational programmes and having now developed a good relationship with the training provider, we are now able to access ongoing support and advice as we plan and then deliver this work. ”
Dawn Owen, Little Grove CIC
“One of the staff, who's lacked a lot of confidence, has really grown in their role since this training, they're confident at running the sessions on their own. They have come up with ideas and ways that they'd like to improve the delivery of this holistic therapy, all the service users that attend her group session, have expressed how beneficial they find them to their recovery.”
Gary Aldridge, Druglink
“Prior to the training we had promoted one of our sessional staff. This meant that he had increased responsibility for running sessions and managing our sites. This promotion came with added responsibility and pressure which had an impact upon his stress levels and overall wellbeing. Completing the care certificate training gave him increased confidence and allowed him to settle into his new role. He found himself better able to support our clients and more sure of himself when coordinating other members of staff.”
