London (UK), April 2011 - The Charity Learning Consortium continues to go from strength to strength, welcoming several new charities. The Consortium is the largest UK-based group of Third Sector organisations that collaborate to share the cost of eLearning. They join almost eighty membership charities in benefitting from networking, support, and advice, as well as a comprehensive range of eLearning.
Martin Baker, Managing Director and founder of the CLC, is passionate about providing cost-effective eLearning to the Third Sector and extols the benefits of the Consortium's collaborative approach. "Together we are far stronger than one person working alone", he says.
Charities normally join the Consortium because of the cost savings available he explains, but they soon realise there are a wealth of other benefits to working together, such as benchmarking, learning from others, and sharing resources and knowledge: "A refreshing openness amongst members, and a willingness to collaborate, share, and learn together is at the heart of what we do", he adds.
The new members joining the Charity Learning Consortium are Catch 22, the Blue Cross, Sports Coach UK, The Charities Evaluation Service, Abaana, and NAVCA.
Charities that are interested in finding out more about the Charity Learning Consortium are welcome to join a free seminar on 11 May in London, when Sean Cooter of the RSPCA will be talking about eLearning at the popular animal-welfare charity.
