SAVO (Suffolk Association of Voluntary Organisations)

SAVO is the lead partner of the Suffolk Learning Consortium and develops, organises and runs a range of training courses, seminars and events on a wide range of subjects affecting the voluntary sector, staff development and briefings on new legislation.

SAVO's Get SORTED! Project has been running for over seven years and many groups have already benefited from its training programmes, one to one support, toolkits, e-learning programmes and tailor-made training and facilitation events. The project aims to help voluntary groups both large and small, newly formed or well established, to develop their services and become stronger and more flexible in meeting the demands placed on them.
