Community Learning and Development

Community Learning and Development (CLD) work strengthens the ability of community organisations and groups to build their structures, systems, people and skills. CLD can support community organisations and groups to access the information, training and resources to enable them to define and achieve their aims and effectively manage community projects.

Your community group can request CLD support by completing our request form, a tool to explore and identify the different knowledge and skills you would like to gain to help you to achieve your aims. This could include increasing your skills and knowledge around aims, structure, funding, training, awareness-raising, diversity, representation, engaging and networking.
