NCVYS report that training providers in the sector are finding it difficult accessing these potential funding streams to support learning provision (the background to the funding streams and new set up is available at http://www.ncvys.org.uk/Supporting_Training_Providers.html). 

Isabelle King from NCVYS will be attending a Third Sector National Learning Alliance event in September, to discuss these concerns and the possibility of developing a national bid for the VCS to be able to tap in to these funds.
 
For a number of years now, NCVYS has been supporting the lobbying activities to gain  funds for training providers in the VCS  and will continue to do so. Please let Isabelle have your issues and concerns so she can raise these.  Email Isabelle@ncvys.org.uk
