Fundraising is more competitive than ever while charities have limited resources and capital to develop products.
Licencing trusted training and deploying it through trained volunteers gives your organisation more capacity and revenue streams. We provide the training, materials, and support to make it happen.
By becoming a licence holder, you will be able to:
- Identify and help more people increasing your impact.
- Develop partnerships that create sustainable long-term income.
- Gain access to health and wellbeing expertise and ongoing support without upfront costs.
The result: increased income, influence, and impact.
(1) First, have a conversation with us. You can email chris@trainforwards.com or fill out a contact form on the website.
(2) We go through and sign the licence agreement together and identify what a pilot project would look like.
(3) We identify at least two people in your organisation to attend on-boarding training. These can be volunteers or staff. The training will take place face-to-face in a day (or two half-days, online when needed).
(4) A bespoke link gives you access to an online vault that will allow you to download all materials.
(5) We are on-hand to provide support around any aspect of the programme to ensure success. This further enhances programme capacity and performance.
- Facilitation guides
- Course materials (e.g., workbooks).
- Monitoring and evaluation questionnaires and frameworks.
- Stakeholder Presentations (e.g., a presentation to potential partners).
- Marketing materials (e.g., one-sheets, brand assets and imagery).
- On-boarding training.
- 3 x good practice events and an annual conference for all licence holders.
- On-demand support.
Being a licence holder means you are able to provide training to external organisations to create an impact. This impact will be in the form of unrestricted income for your charity , improved outcomes for the organisations you deliver to (e.g., increased school/ workplace attendance, improved support for beneficiaries, enhanced identification of potential beneficiaries).
As part of your licence, you will be given a framework to capture this impact quarterly, shared at good practice events throughout the year.
When organisations become a licence holder, they are invited to on-boarding training. Additional support can also be requested in the form of packages of time: 5 (create), 10 (scale), or 20 hours (grow). These packages are for further formal training and development of programmes.
All licence holders are encouraged totalk to Train Forwards as much as they like for ad-hoc questions they may have. This ensures that all licence holders feel supported and impact is constantly being driven to all involved.
When courses are arranged to be delivered, the next phase will be to ensure that pre-course information is collected. This is likely to be at the first session or with your lead contact at the organisation you are working with. Facilitators will need to know of any additional needs as well as collect monitoring information. At the end of the last session of the course monitoring information is collected again to evidence impact. This will be sent back to Train Forwards as part of the programme's evaluation.
Firstly, there are no upfront fees. Fees are recovered from when courses start running courses. Where necessary, we can support with fundraising to get this project moving for the first year.
It is expected that licence holders will provide courses to schools for £1,650 to generate an unrestricted income. The cost of the licence is recovered from this at a fee of £3,000 per course. With three courses, a full licence costs £9,000. This means a minimum of 6 courses will run over the course of a year. Licences are provided annually and we work together to to ensure the success of the programme.
