About the Training Fund
If you are a frontline worker or team and have identified a training course or event that will help you in your current work with people experiencing homelessness, but your organisation is not able to fund it, we may be able to help. Individuals can apply for up to £500 to cover the cost of training or events and groups can apply for up to £1,500.
IMPORTANT NOTICE
Please be aware that from Monday 11 August to Sunday 24 August the Frontline Network inbox will not be monitored.
Applications to the Training Fund will remain open but assessment will not take place until after Wednesday 27 August at the earliest.
When making an application to the Training Fund please ensure date of training comes at least six weeks after Wednesday 23 August – i.e. not earlier than Wednesday 8 October. This is to ensure sufficient time for applications to be assessed and process payment to be processed ahead of training taking place.
If you have any questions regarding the above, please don’t hesitate to be in touch at frontline@stmartinscharity.org.uk
About the Training Fund
At the Frontline Network we are committed to listening to the voices of staff working directly with people experiencing homelessness, and to responding to the challenges being faced in the sector. The Training Fund exist to support frontline workers with people experiencing homelessness to access training and skills development opportunities, if their organisation is unable to fund them.
Find out more about some of the people and teams who have received funding and how various training has supported frontline workers in our Training Fund blogs
We want to make the Training Fund as accessible as possible. If you would prefer to complete the application via a call with one of our team, please get in touch and we can arrange this.
Please read our Training Fund Guidelines before applying.
- Applications must be received by Frontline Network at least 6 weeks before the course start date. This is to allow enough time for us to process your application.
- All applications must demonstrate how the training need has been identified by Frontline Workers (for example through supervisions, staff surveys, team meetings)
- Why the training is needed (e.g. staff reporting an increase in incidents of mental health crisis, or a need to increase knowledge around areas of welfare/benefits that impact the people you work with).
- We need to hear how the training will benefit the people you support in your service
- Group applications can be made by a manager but must demonstrate how the training need has been identified by frontline staff e.g. through consultations, team meetings, supervisions.
- Evidence of the full cost, date of training and number of attendees must be provided, e.g. a link to full details on trainer website, or an email or quote for your organisation’s required training
- Before applying, please find out if the training can be funded by your employer. If you do not know we will ask you to find out.
Please see the Training Fund FAQs for more details.
