The Frontline Network has upgraded its Training Funding offer!

Thursday, October 31, 2024

The Training Fund offers individual grants of up to £500 for individual frontline workers and £1500 for groups to access training, qualifications or courses to support them in their roles. 

Recent courses we have funded frontline workers to attend included Professional Resilience; Housing Benefit and Supported Accommodation; Personal Safety; Risk Management, and Homelessness and Allocation Law Advanced. 

You can apply for wellbeing related training for your team – to support staff to look after themselves whilst they are supporting others. 

We are now also inviting applications for funding for frontline staff to attend sector learning events that have training elements.  For example, this could be for a conference, symposium or networking event - the focus must be relevant to your work with people experiencing homelessness.  

Our Training Programme is designed to respond directly to what we are hearing from frontline workers and aims to make training and professional development opportunities available to frontline staff when their employer does not have funds to provide this.  

By including events and worker wellbeing training in our eligibility we hope to make more learning opportunities available to frontline staff across the homelessness sector.  

“The application form was short and straightforward, and all communication has been prompt and clear. Our overall experience of applying to the fund and being a grant-holder has been positive and we would recommend it to others. “ 

For more information or if you have any questions, please check out our website or email frontline@stmartinscharity.org.uk
