Workshops and Training
Find out what's going on and how to get involved
The association of Jersey Charities aims to provide professional training to attendees on subjects relevant to any organisation in the charitable and voluntary sectors. We offer a combination of free Talks to our members and training support.
MONTHLY MEMBERS TALK
As part of our training and development offering, we have set up monthly talks with industry experts. These will be on the 4th Wednesday of each month, from 1.10 pm to 1.50 pm, at NatWest, Library Place, second floor meeting room. These sessions are accessible to members, but numbers are limited, so a booking form will be available once each talk is arranged.
PRICING FOR TRAINING
Association of Jersey Charities members receive a significant discount on the cost to facilitate the training. We also offer a full-price option for non-members but encourage people to consider joining as a member to gain value.
