Training Costs

We have introduced a small fee on 1 July 2025 for some of our training sessions to ensure more committed participation.

Please note that our training will continue to be heavily subsidised. Free tickets will still be available for individuals starting up or small organisations. If you are unable to afford the training, please contact us so we can discuss your situation.

Training sessions run in partnership with Croydon Voluntary Action and Richmond CVS will have a starting charge of £15.00 plus the Eventbrite booking fee.
