Claybury International is running 2 FREE two-day courses, this one in London and one in Hertfordshire. For further details on the training in Hertfordshire please click here.

Both courses are offered as part of the National Outcomes Programme, run by Charities Evaluation Services. This training, which usually costs £250, is free to participants. Places are limited, so please register your interest now.

The programme, which is run by Charities Evaluation Services, aims to help voluntary and community organisations develop knowledge and skills in using an outcomes focus.

The courses aim to equip participants to introduce an outcomes focus within their own organisation. For this reason organisations are encouraged to send two or three people from their organisation on the course, whether trustees, paid staff, volunteers or a mixture. Participants from the same organisation should all attend the same course.

To make the most of this opportunity, we ask you to commit to:
• all participants attending both days of the course
• fully engaging in the take-away task between the two training days. This involves holding a meeting in your own organisation on outcomes and on the implications of adopting an outcomes focus. The meeting should involve relevant representatives of trustees, paid staff and volunteers.
• taking further actions to introduce an appropriate outcomes focus within your organisation after Day 2 of the course.

You will receive materials and support to help you in these activities.

To find out more about the courses or to register your interest, please phone 0845 4340021 or email andy@claybury.com
