Exciting and innovative projects to help people access local learning and training opportunities are being developed around the county.
These range from the setting up of Neighbourhood Projects, to offering support to artists and giving older people the chance to learn IT skills in a local hall.
To help you develop your own projects, you may find it useful to read how other people have developed their ideas.
