METRO Charity Training

Our bespoke training builds on our expertise in youth, mental health, LGBT+ communities, hate crime, HIV, sexual and reproductive health.

[METRO] took their time with us and really made an effort to understand us and our business. I feel we learned so much and it was incredibly enjoyable.

The METRO Charity Training team offers sessions from as little as £500. We can offer bespoke training packages to fit your needs, as well as our pre-built training programmes. We can deliver training in-person across London and beyond, as well as online. 

For more information and costs, please contact the team: development@metrocharity.org.uk.

The trainer was a joy to listen to, excellent delivery, and kept my attention throughout the whole 3 hours!

About METRO Charity Training

Each training session is designed to engage attendees and develop organisational approaches that encourage inclusivity and celebrate diversity. The training content, discussions and activities help equip participants with the knowledge, resources and tools they need. Our sessions are carefully curated to support a practical and achievable approach to enhancing inclusion.

METRO training encourages an intersectional approach to inclusion that acknowledges the ways in which our interrelating, diverse identities effect our experiences in the world. The training offers a supportive space where participants are able to expand and update their individual knowledge, facilitated by experienced and well-informed trainers.

In January 2024, METRO launched an exciting training package that is a more comprehensive approach to learning about inclusion in terms of Sexual Orientation and Gender Identity (SOGI). It is comprised of several new, interlinked sessions, developed from METRO’s extensive expertise in:

In drawing on expertise from across our organisation, we are able to support the development of safer and more inclusive spaces. 

The trainer created a welcoming and safe environment where you felt you could ask anything.
