Workshops and Training
Find out what's going on and how to get involved
We are reviewing our training workshops and activities for the future and need your input. We want to encourage members and charities of all sizes to help shape the training we deliver in 2024. If you are interested in contributing, especially if you are a small charity, please email
beth@jerseycharities.org.
Our aim is to provide training, free of charge to attendees wherever possible, on subjects relevant to any organisation in the charitable and voluntary sector. However, with rising costs we are now obliged to charge a nominal fee for some training and more for specialised training, and this will be payable at the point of booking.
As part of our training and development offering, we have set up monthly talks from industry experts.These will be on the 4th Wednesday of each month, from 1.10pm to 1.50pm, at NatWest, Library Place, second floor meeting room.
These sessions are free to members, but numbers are limited, so a booking form will be available once each talk is arranged.
Upcoming courses that are booked are listed below.
Cybersecurity - Wednesday 24th January, 1.10pm to 1.50pm, NatWest, Library Place, Second floor meeting room
This is aimed primarily at the small/medium charities that do not have the resources or dedicated staff to overview their cyber security.Cybersecurity is essential for protecting sensitive information, maintaining trust, and ensuring the smooth operation of digital systems. Charities, like any other organisations, should prioritise cybersecurity to safeguard their data, reputation, and the trust of their stakeholders.Matt Derrien, Cyber Risk Officer from Jersey Cyber Security Centre - JCSC.JE will join us to provide an introduction to cyber security and respond to any queries. The aim of JCSC is to prepare, protect and defend Jersey from cyber threats so that Jersey can be internationally recognised as a safe place to live and do business online.
