Practical, tailored support for community organisations and councils
At Connecting Spaces, we design and deliver high-quality sessions tailored to your organisation’s goals—whether you’re looking for a one-off workshop, a half-day or full-day of in-depth training, or a longer-term bespoke support package. Each session is designed to be practical, engaging, and directly relevant to your work. We work with groups of up to 30 delegates and consistently receive excellent feedback on the value and impact of our training. We are committed to delivering real value for money, and any surplus we generate is reinvested into the community through the work of Chichester Community Development Trust.
