Advicenow is running a free housing rights course on private renting for migrant communities, aimed at frontline organisations. The course will be delivered online and is funded by A B Charitable Trust. 

The course will give you the basic knowledge and skills you need to deal with key housing issues faced by people from migrant communities in privately rented accommodation. It has been updated to include the key changes introduced by the Renters Rights Act, ensuring you understand the new rules around tenancies, disrepair, and evictions. 

Did you know burnout can show up differently in neurodivergent people? Learn how to spot it early and provide the right support.

Join PMAC for this webinar to:

✔ Understand why neurodivergent people may be at increased risk of burnout

✔ Identify the early signs of stress and exhaustion

The physical effects of living in a cold, damp home are well recognised and rightly emphasised, but the mental health impacts of fuel poverty also deserve attention.

This course is designed for frontline staff who support vulnerable or low‑income individuals at risk of living in cold and damp conditions. It explores how fuel poverty can influence both physical and mental health, and how these challenges may affect the way individuals engage with the energy market.

Changing habits and behaviours can be challenging, yet the small decisions people make every day have a significant effect on their household energy use. To support households effectively, energy advisers need to feel confident in providing practical, behaviour‑focused guidance.

This course explores key theories and insights from the field of decision‑making, with a particular focus on simple, actionable techniques that can help advisers encourage households to act on the energy‑saving advice they receive.

The Voluntary and Community Sector Emergencies Partnership are running another session in collaboration with Horizon Resilience.

Division in communities, rising tensions and civil unrest continue to be high on the risk register for organisations. A lot of research points to pre-bunking – intervening early to dispel myths rather than challenging misinformation after it appears, so how can community organisations feel better equipped to intervene?

Join Charity Wise for the next event in their summer technology series!

On Wednesday 5th August we’ll (Charity Wise) be exploring how charities can use conversion rate optimisation (CRO), testing, and personalisation to improve digital experiences, increase engagement, and create greater impact from their websites.

Many charities are under increasing pressure to demonstrate the difference they make. 

Recent changes to the Charities SORP have brought renewed attention to impact reporting, but good impact measurement is about much more than meeting reporting requirements. 

This practical webinar will introduce Theory of Change as a simple way of thinking about how your organisation contributes to change, before exploring how to identify meaningful outcomes, decide what evidence to collect and use learning to improve your work.
