This case study shows how Glenn Knight, operating as a sole trader, has developed Training2Care from an initial investment of £200 in 2010.

The case study illustrates how all Moulton College students undertake commercial experience at an appropriate standard, typically amounting to a day a week, supported through a number of commercial enterprises within the college which generate business benefits and community services as well as learning.

This approach has led to the commercial enterprises contributing over 11% of the College’s annual turnover of nearly £28.5m.

Summary
The policy and funding context is changing regularly and it is very difficult for smaller third sector organisations to keep updated and thus have the opportunity to access specific funding possibilities.
In 2006 SAVO was commissioned by the Governance Hub to develop and maintain an on-line learning platform to deliver Trustee Training. Following the success of this program (which currently has over 2.500 learners signed up) SAVO made the commitment in 2008 to convert its portfolio of paper based and CD Toolkits to be web delivered (www.practicaltoolkits.org.uk)
