Skill up your employees for free with a levy donation

Did you know you can skill up your existing employees at no cost to your organisation through an unspent levy donation? 

From degree-level programmes in areas such as Public Health to a Level 4 PR and Communications Assistant course, your organisations can access a wide range of training opportunities at no expense. Courses can be in-person or online. Read this presentation and brochure to know more about it. 

Apprenticeships allow staff to develop new skills and gain nationally recognised qualifications while continuing to work. This not only supports employee development and retention but also strengthens the organisation’s overall capacity to deliver greater impact within the community! Please note that staff members will need to be on your organisation's payroll for this, they cannot be volunteers or consultants.

As part of a 2025 NHS funded project, called the SWL VCSE Alliance, the six CVSs in South West London have teamed up with the local NHS to make sure the NHS unspent levy in South West London can be donated to local community health & care community groups. If you are interested in this opportunity:

1. Check out the courses available and choose a training provider with a good track record
2. Contact the training provider to understand when the next course is starting and what their requirements are 
3. Create your GOV.UK One Login or sign in - GOV.UK One Login if you don't have one and log in to create your apprenticeship service account. You will need your organisation's PAYE scheme reference number and your Accounts office reference number (this is 13 characters, like 123PX00123456 or 123PX0012345X and you can find it on HMRC letters about PAYE or  when you registered as an employer)
4. Contact your local CVSs for support on how to claim the donation of unspent levy from your local NHS provider. Email Alex@communityactionsutton.org.uk
