This training programme is part of the Spaces, Places and Belonging Community Hub and has been developed in conversation with community groups, practitioners and partners across the UK. It supports people working with heritage, culture and communities to build skills, confidence and new ways of working together.

The programme offers a mix of online and in‑person sessions, covering topics such as building meaningful community partnerships, working ethically and inclusively, telling community stories creatively, and turning ideas, research and collections into engaging public outputs. All sessions are free to attend and are open to everyone, you don’t need to be an SPB grantee to take part. However, a certain amount of tickets will always be reserved for Community Groups specifically.
