Macmillan supports groups with training, grants and resources, to help groups develop.
The grants programme has now closed for 2011. We'll be launching a different programme in 2012. Please contact resources@macmillan.org.uk| for further information. If you'd prefer to receive information by post, please call 0207 840 4936.
We'll provide further details about the new grants programme on our website in early 2012. Grant application packs will be available from early February 2012.
Macmillan offers a number of training opportunities to help you and your group develop and make positive changes. We aim to bring people together to share experiences and to help them obtain practical and emotional support.
All workshops are free to attend and members of self help and support groups can also apply for a Training and development costs grant to cover any associated costs.
For a full list of courses and course dates, visit our teaching resource website Learn Zone.|
