Free Community Training Programmes – Yeovil

Milford Community Association has recently hosted a number of Community Training courses for local residents thanks to the support from the Health Inequalities Programme and a grant from Somerset Community Foundation.

  Cook Group

 

The courses were FREE of charge to all local residents and included education and life skills training needed and highlighted from local people in a training survey. These courses included:

  • IT for beginners
  • Internet Access and internet safety
  • 3 x Basic first aid courses (with over 45 people attending)
  • First aid for babies and toddlers (Mother & father training sessions)
  • Food hygiene qualifications (Level 2)
  • Get set grow (Growing course)
  • Get set cook (Cooking course)

The programme was a great success and has now linked with another Health inequalities programme 'the Milford training room' which has seen IT equipment given to the community association to run IT training courses, internet cafes and other IT support needs for the local community thanks to grant support from South Somerset District Council (Area South) Committee.

Although the funding has run out, we are always looking for community training needs so if further funding was secured we could address the needs of our local communities. If you have any ideas of further training courses you feel is needed within the local community please contact:
