Training and personal development

Surrey Care Trust is a registered charity, number 285543

Surrey Care Trust 2010

We are part of the Surrey Compact

We have a range of nationally accredited training courses with the National Community Boats Association.

All volunteers who help run the Swingbridge trips work

towards achieving the ‘Community Crew Course’, a

workbook-based course during which new recruits are

mentored through the crewing activities. Some volunteers go on to qualify as skippers by achieving the ‘Certificate in Community Boat Management’.

People who spend time helping with the Swingbridge

environmental work programme can achieve Level 1 units, in recognition of skills they have learnt, through the Open College Network.
