Workforce Hub

The ALM project is funded by the UK Workforce Hub as part of ChangeUp!

We are also supported on specific projects by the Governance Hub and the Performance Hub

Action Learning Matters (ALM) is a national resource for action learning in the voluntary and community sector across England.

Action learning can work for volunteers, staff and trustees in large, medium and small voluntary organisations, as well as service users. This website aims to help you to participate in action learning, including:

  • Setting up an action learning programme
  • Joining an action learning set
  • Finding an action learning facilitator
  • Getting funding for action learning
  • Finding out about best practice, making links, and accessing resources
  • Evaluating action learning

This website also exists to signpost and share best practice. We would also like to hear from you if you are a VCO already doing action learning. Get in touch to share your experiences - the site includes case studies of current projects and we are always looking to add more examples of action learning in practice.

If you'd like to publicise an action learning-related workshop, programme or other event on the website please contact us.

Follow the links for more information on our project aims, funders and partners and services.

This website is brand new, and we will build it up as it matures. If there is anything you'd like to see that isn't here, or you have any comments on the site, please contact us.
