Three years ago Winchester Area Community Action was awarded a grant for three years from the Big Lottery Fund to set up WACA Learning to develop a programme of learning opportunities and training courses with the following outcomes for voluntary sector groups in the Winchester District:
to increase their capacity to provide services to individuals and communities
to be more effective and able to provide a better quality service
to improve their financial viability
to increase their awareness about their beneficiaries and communities.
We are proud to highlight our achievements and are pleased to advise you that WACA Learning will continue to provide learning opportunities and training courses to local voluntary sector groups beyond the period of the project. Please see details on the reverse.
900 attendees encompassing over 130 organisations *
55 training courses held
27 organisations completed training plans
Worked with small/medium voluntary groups and community members
Signposted enquirers to other relevant training providers as appropriate.
* Achievements information includes final year figures (Yrs 1 & 2) plus projected figures until end of project
Our users regularly returned to WACA Learning and below are a sample of the comments we received:
The course was very valuable and delivered to high professional standards (Outcomes)
Simple messages well delivered and flexible response to questions of interest (Basic Food Hygiene)
Very impressive course. The tutor did an excellent job of addressing the needs of the participants. She was very clear in her delivery and adapted to suit our requirements. I learnt a great deal and thoroughly enjoyed the 2 sessions. This has been one of the most useful IT courses I have ever attended. Many thanks (Excel Improvers)
This project was overseen by Elizabeth McKerracher, Deputy Chief Executive, and delivered by Hilary Fellows, Learning Development Worker, and Melissa Fletcher, Learning Development Administrator.
