Supporting development work
![]()
We can provide a range of learning and networking events, workshops and training programmes to help you as you seek to support local voluntary and community groups.
skild
skild is a training programme designed specifically for support and development organisations, from CVS and Rural Community Councils through to black and minority ethnic development organisations, community forums and local development trusts.
Annual conference and agm
Our annual conference and agm is one of the highlights of the year. It is when NAVCA members and other like-minded people get together to celebrate the strength of our movement, share best practice and motivate each other to continue to do great work.

Our next major conference will be in winter 2012 and we'll release details of the event as soon as they are available.
Events in your area
We recognise that large national events aren't suitable for everyone. That's why we are committed to running as many events around the country as possible.
We are currently running the following:
| Every business matters | Free business planning workshops for the voluntary sector |
| learning 4 LINks | Free events for LINks members |
| Delivering good commissioning and reducing health inequalities | Free learning event for VCS and health and social care commissioners |
Supporting local challenges
We also provides workshops and training courses for organisations who find themselves with particular local challenges. These courses include:
- Using public law and the Compact to negotiate effectively with local public bodies
- A range of learning opportunities focusing on commissioning and procurement
If you enter your email address, we will notify you when we change this page.
