approach.”

Normally priced at £150 per participant, places include a 2-day training
covering the legalities, practicalities and sustainability of running a community building and a step-by-step guide (normally £25) for you to use with your own organisation.
Whether you are an experienced centre manager or are just starting out, Community Assets Matter will help you to effectively manage your building, make the most of your space, and engage young people in the process.
