The reserves policy training was eye opening and very useful, especially for someone new to the charity sector. Well worth the time

Momentum Children’s Charity

It was great to be put into teams and do some scenario planning, it really helped to gain an understanding of how we might apply the knowledge learned from the course, into our real-life scenarios

Very useful training, which made me think more creatively about our reserves policy and moving on from a 'status quo' approach
