Mental Health Awareness Training
10th July 2023 @ 10:00 am - 12:30 pm
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) is an initiative by the UK government and a central pillar of the Levelling Up agenda. We are partnering with Cardiff Council to explore how the UKSPF can provide support to communities and places in Cardiff. C3SC will be leading conversations with the third sector and will use what you tell us to advocate for the sector and inform the Local Authority’s plans.
As a part of the first phase of our UKSPF community engagement work, we are pleased to announce that we will be running the following training course in an area many of you have told us will increase the strength and sustainability of the local voluntary sector and community action. This will be available to our members for FREE on a first-come first-served basis.
