We are Manchester Volunteer Advice Partnership. We train volunteers and professionals to give high quality advice on welfare benefits, housing and debt. We also run workshops designed to improve understanding of these systems for professionals working with vulnerable clients so that they can better understand what support is available, and signpost these clients to get better help.
Unfortunately our funding will run out next year and we are now looking at how we can keep this valuable training going and different models we can develop. We are asking organisations who have not previously accessed our training before to tell us about their organisation's approach to training and how we could help.
