Free Confidence Building courses.

This basic-level, introductory one-day training is aimed at people who are thinking about volunteering or getting back to the workplace as an option, but perhaps need a bit of a boost before taking that first step.

You must be aged 19 or over, unwaged (unemployed/retired/house person) or low-waged.

The course is taking place in:

  • Dover - Wednesday 1 March and Wednesday 19 April the Beacon Church Hall, Dover
  • Folkestone - Tuesday 28 February and Tuesday 18 April Folkestone Nepalese community centre
  • Thanet - Monday 27 February The Gap Project, Broadstairs and Thursday 20 April Margate Caves

We then aim to follow up with you to help you find a volunteering role if you are interested.
