This is the list we mentioned on the general "Training Opportunities in the Diocese" page. These are the dates known to us of forthcoming training opportunities offered by local authorities, Councils for Voluntary Youth Services and similar bodies. We've filtered it down to the ones we think might be of interest to Catholic parish youth leaders and helpers.

Training to do with fundraising is separately listed elsewhere.

So as to make it perfectly clear, these training opportunities are not provided by NYMO or the Church.
