Friend, people in any situation could benefit from counselling, those with the correct understanding, knowledge and skills can provide them with support to improve personal well-being. Counselling is a type of talking therapy that allows a person to talk about their problems and feelings in a confidential and dependable environment.
Our free online course, Level 2 Certificate in Counselling Skills qualification explores this concept and introduces you to the core counselling skills used in everyday life. Funding in your area is only available for a limited time so to avoid disappointment we strongly advise that you sign up now
As any organisation will know, change is difficult. However, there are ways to make it easier; the Theory of Change is a useful framework that supports organisational change in 3 areas:
Focus (clear vision and goals)
Efficiency (best path between now and your vision)
Unity (collaboration of organisation and stakeholders towards common goals)
Evaluation: (evaluate activities so that your stakeholders/beneficiaries can experience better outcomes)
The Theory of Change may seem complex, but Boomy Tokan and the School of Social Sustainability are here to make this easy and straight-forward. Their motto is ‘Doing Good & Doing Well’ and they support Social Enterprises, Charities & Non-For-Profits to grow and be successful. One of their newest courses on the Theory of Change is bringing together the theory and 20 years of experience in the business startup arena for a highly efficient way to learn and apply this valuable framework.

I have recently been asked a lot about Project Management. Within SOLID, you can access a session on project management, looking at devising a project brief, setting objectives and managing the process through to its defined end and “Closure.” The whole package enables you to understand why project management is important and how it differs from the day to day management that we might be familiar with. It leads you to explore issues such as setting measurable objectives, managing risk, checking on progress and using tools such as Gantt charts. It makes you consider three core elements to managing; Time, Budget and Quality, all being at the heart of everything you do. Take a look…..
