If you need some extra support to get more people through Online basics this year, this fund could be for you.  Just show us how you’d seek match funding, reach hard to reach audiences and how you’d help at least 50 people complete the course.    

Remember, you can apply for the Start something and Community How To Advocacy funds too, and the projects could all work together to give your centre a boost in the New Year.   Network support fund (you must log in or sign up to view this page)
