Thanet Community Champions Funded Training Programme 2026

Social Enterprise Kent is delivering two funded training sessions in partnership with Thanet District Council, supporting people working and volunteering within Thanet’s communities.

Taking place in November and December 2026, these practical, three-hour sessions cover Safeguarding Adults and Children and Equality, Diversity and Inclusion. Both courses are designed to build awareness, strengthen everyday practice and support participants in their roles within local organisations and community groups.

Training is fully funded through Thanet District Council’s Community Champions Programme, for eligible participants, with just 12 places available on each course. Places are allocated on a first-come, first-served basis.

These funded sessions are available to eligible individuals working or volunteering within the voluntary, community and social enterprise (VCSE) sector, whose organisations are based in or delivering services across Thanet.

Places are fully funded through Thanet District Council’s Community Champions Programme, meaning there is no course fee for eligible participants.

Only 12 places are available per session, and bookings will be accepted on a first-come, first-served basis.
