RBS Skills and Opportunities Fund

26 Aug 2016 - 11:03 by michelle.foster

The focus for the RBS Skills and Opportunities Fund is to support organisations that help people in disadvantaged communities develop, create or access the skills and opportunities they need to help themselves; skills that will enable them to get into work or start a business, now or in the future. RBS believe that helping people gain such skills and access opportunities to learn can help turn their lives around and build better communities for everyone; when we build stronger communities, we all grow.
