LVSC Training at Happy
London Voluntary Service Council (LVSC) is delighted to announce that it will be working in partnership with Happy Ltd to safeguard its popular training programme for the voluntary and community sector.
Paid staff and volunteers working within charities, voluntary organisations and social enterprises can continue to benefit from LVSC’s management and personal development training, which was at risk of closure as it had been making a significant loss over a number of years.
The exciting partnership deal means that:
- course prices will remain at their current low levels
- voluntary sector focus and relevance will be maintained
- the programme will be enhanced to better meet the changing needs of the sector
- the learning experience and programme quality will match Happy’s successful model
Peter Lewis, Chief Executive of LVSC says “This is a very exciting partnership for LVSC and for the sector. It means greater investment in the training programme and will enable us to offer voluntary and community sector organisations a better quality, and more extensive, programme at the same affordable price – all tailored to the needs of the sector. Happy bring with them a strong history of working with the sector and have an unmatched reputation for the quality of the training programmes they provide.”
Henry Stewart, Chief Executive of Happy Ltd says, “I am delighted to enter into this partnership agreement with LVSC during their centenary year. My very first training as a freelancer, 22 years ago, was for LVSC and a commitment to the voluntary sector has been at the core of the training Happy Computers has provided in the two decades since then. Happy expanded into management and development training some years ago and this is a very natural progression. We look forward to developing LVSC’s very successful model and help create truly great workplaces throughout the sector.”
The programme covers both LVSC’s short course programme and its popular in-house provision. LVSC is committed to developing the skills of staff and the performance of organisations within the voluntary and community sector.
