How this cause brings people in the community together

The Activate programme is informal and participative and yet challenges us to think about the work we do, our values and principles, and how it makes our community better. Flexible local delivery of this 50 hour course ensures that it is accessible for the people to participate, and the specific learning on the programme will be tailored to the needs of the group and the communities it serves
