50 for 50 Training Support Grant fund extended for 2025-2026 to include CPD & recognised qualifications
Our Training Support Grant ’50 for 50’ was launched in 2024 as an investment from ECVYS of £50,000 into youth work skills in the voluntary sector in 2024-2025. We aimed for at least 50 youth workers (volunteer and paid youth worker) to gain a recognised qualification in youth work skills that will support their youth work practice (with young people aged 11-25yrs) in Essex, and that of their organisation. We are delighted to have achieved this target. The great news is that we still have a healthy amount in the pot and so for 2025-2026 we want to train another 50 youth workers!….No, we want to absolutely smash our target of training 50!
We have already funded courses such as; Football coaching, Principles of Youth Work, Mountain Bike Assessing, First aid for Designated First Aid Leads, Mental Health First aid and more!
