Testimonials
(Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council)
"It’s been great to connect with members of different teams and have time to really reflect on the work I and the team do on events. I was able to think about a couple of very specific projects and events that I’d like to apply this learning to, where I know it will have a great impact."
Delegate (Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council)
"Attending this training has been incredibly valuable, as it has helped me deepen my understanding of the strengths-based approach and develop a clearer perspective on community-centred and asset-based approaches. Through this course, I’ve gained practical insights into leveraging community strengths and resources, which will enable me to work more effectively and collaboratively with others."
