2. Sign posting to further training opportunities 

3. Access to a training bursary scheme

Whilst the programme is open to all individuals who live, work and study in Westminster, we do prioritise staff and volunteers who work with an ActiveWestminster Mark accredited organisation as well as those who face considerable cultural and socio-economic barriers to personal and professional development.
