Members: tell us which trainings you want and the dates you can attend so we can schedule sessions that work for the most people.
We're running a series of practical trainings this autumn : from using online tools to making videos and organising in your community. These sessions are designed for Food & Solidarity members, with one open session on collective finances. Take a look at what's on offer, then use the form below to tick the dates you could attend.
What's on offer
Open Collective Administration
Ever wondered how funds can be managed transparently to fuel community's work? This introductory session will demystify the financial tools we use to ensure every pound is accounted for. This training is open to non-members.
Using Google Docs for Collaborative Work
No more messy email chains. This hands-on intro will show you how to work on shared documents smoothly : writing, planning, and creating together without the confusion.
Making a Video: Idea to Finished Product
After parcel-making, join us in-person on Saturdays to learn how to turn ideas into polished short videos for TikTok or Reels. No experience needed, just enthusiasm.
Community Organising: From Gripe to Power
Got a gripe? That's the seed of change. This Saturday in-person session will show how to channel frustration into campaigns and collective wins.
Organising Conversations
Real change begins with one-to-one conversations. Learn how to connect, listen deeply, and unlock shared purpose. This fixed-date session is on Sun 02 Nov 2025.
