Learning opportunities

Hunts Forum offers its members many different ways to broaden their knowledge. Over the past few years, we have listened to what you need support with, how you want that information given to you and how you want to engage with us.

With this in mind, we want to give you many ways to learn and upskill your current knowledge base. However, we realise it can be unclear at the time what the options are. So read on to understand the offer and how you engage with it.

As a Hunts Forum member, your organisation can access everything below.

Hunts Forum: Good to-know sessions

Funding support sessions

Informal peer-to-peer support sessions for those currently applying for funding. These sessions are for those looking to apply for new funds but need support and guidance on the application process.
