BUSINESSES and organisations are being urged to offer vacant places on training courses to the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector.

A new initiative, Training4Good, is to be launched by community interest company Creating Space for You to help businesses to offer otherwise wasted spaces on training courses to support skills development in the third sector.

A free launch event will be held at the National Centre For Early Music, Walmgate, York from 9.30am to 1pm on March 13. Visit training4goodlaunch.eventbrite.co.uk, email charlie@creatingspace4u.net or phone 0845 680 9825 to book.
