What Is Lincs2gether?
Lincs2gether is an ESF (European Social Fund) and Lincolnshire County Council funded project being delivered in partnership between Urban Challenge, Community Lincs, South Lincolnshire Community and Voluntary Service and VAEL (Voluntary Action East Lindsey). It is a two year project ending in December 2010 aimed at the voluntary and community sector to enable small/medium organisations to deliver on public sector projects and services.
Lincs2gether offers training and an organisational mentoring scheme to small/medium organisations, enabling them to be in a stronger position to either bid directly for or work in partnership on public sector projects and services.
How Often Is The Training Brochure Produced And What’s Included?
The training brochure is produced on a quarterly basis, and not only includes training offered via the Lincs2gether project, but also some of the additional training that is being offered by the Lincs2gether partner organisations. Please feel free to pass on the training brochure to colleagues.
Some of the training contained within the January - April 2010 brochure is being delivered as a result of funding received from The Really Useful Stuff Handbook project administered by the Healthy Communities Team sitting within Economic Regeneration at Lincolnshire County Council.
