DISABILITY AWARENESS TRAINING COURSE - CERTIFICATED
 PLACES AVAILABLE FOR VOLUNTEERS:

PLACES AVAILABLE FOR NEXT TRAINING ON 26th May, 2nd and 9th June 2010 so...

PLEASE REGISTER YOUR INTEREST WITH VIKKI ON 01787 371333

Places are limited, so please book fast.

 This course is an excellent way for new and established volunteers to gain knowledge and confidence - in fact, we recommend it!  Courses are held at least twice a year (different venue in Suffolk each time) and feedback is always very positive.
Disability Awareness Training is open to registered and non-registered volunteers.  Whilst the training itself is free to volunteers we ask for a subsidised contribution of £5 (inc VAT) for SBS registered volunteers and £7.50 (inc VAT) per day for non-registered volunteers towards the provision of lunch and refreshments.  Volunteers who attend the course and who subsequently register with SBS, can be reimbursed for their mileage or bus/train fares once registration is confirmed.

The training, over three days, represents a total of 6 sessions and delegates must attend 4 out of the 6 sessions to obtain a Certificate.

Anyone interested in attending this excellent training opportunity, should contact Vikki Thompson, (Administrator) on 01787 371333 for more information.

NATIONAL THREE PEAKS CHALLENGE

Six of SBS' most avid supporters - including our very own Amanda Eaves - are taking part in this year's National Three Peaks Challenge on 10th and 11th June!

This mountain endurance challenge involves participants attempting to climb the highest peaks of each of the island's three countries namely: Ben Nevis in Western Scotland, Snowdon in North Wales and Scafell Pike in North-Western England.

It is an extremely demanding challenge, and will require all of our supporters to train very hard in the lead up to this fantastic adventure in order to meet the strenuous physical demands of this event.

We wish all of the participants the very best of luck!

IF YOU WISH TO SHOW YOUR SUPPORT BY SPONSORING OUR TEAMS PLEASE CONTACT AMANDA EAVES ON 07906 758036 - THANK YOU!
