Background

In 2008, research by the Cass Centre for Charity Effectiveness had identified a huge training gap in the voluntary sector. They found that  people working in charities were half as likely to get the training they needed to improve in their jobs than their counterparts in the public or private sectors. 

That year, the Cass City Centre for Charity Effectiveness Trust successfully bid for a Big Lottery Fund grant to set up an online space for charity and non profit workers to get the skills they needed.

KnowHow NonProfit was born.

So what have we done with our funding over the past three years?

Well, press play to find out. And get ready to start tapping your feet...

What next for KnowHow?

KnowHow has become the go-to place for social learning in the voluntary sector. We are constantly thinking of new ways to connect people in the sector so that they can learn from each other. You probably already know about:

• the how-to wiki area - where anyone can publish their practical guidance on any voluntary sector issue straight to the site, and the community can edit it
• the StudyZone - where anyone can request the training they need on a voluntary sector issue and we source and deliver video training on that topic.

We promise more of this kind of innovation, and more sophisticated, low-cost ways to encourage learning in the voluntary sector.
