Dear friend of KnowHow,

Last year we announced that we were going to develop a training platform on KnowHow. We've been working hard to put together our first batch of accessible, digestible online training videos tailored for the voluntary sector.

We’re officially launching the platform later in March, but here’s a sneak preview of the first four training sessions.

You can watch the first video of every session for FREE!

Make the most of your web content

Is your web content letting you down? This course uses existing charity websites to illustrate good and bad practice. The half-hour course helps you think about:

• how to engage your audience
• writing for the web skills
• the accessibility and usability of your site
• how to turn your visitors into supporters.

With 10 years’ experience working with voluntary sector websites, Madeleine Sugden will help you assess how you could improve your own website.

Learn how to maximise the potential of your web content for only £8.99 (each part contains a downloadable handout, which contains all the learning as well as practical exercises to help you improve).

Essential leadership skills

Excel in your role as a leader with this four-part online training course, tailored for voluntary sector organisations. The 20-minute course covers how to:

• build trust
• nurture enthusiasm
• inspire loyalty
• improve performance.

Our Cass Centre for Charity Effectiveness leadership expert, Andrew Forrest, also gives practical exercises to help you develop as a leader as well as build your team.

Five steps to building a cohesive team

This course will help you discover the five secrets to building a cohesive and effective team:

Voluntary sector management consultant, Tristan Callaghan, provides key insights to help your team survive these tough times.
