VOLUNTARY-run childcare groups in Bury are to benefit from a new Sure Start training on managing information workshop.

The Success for Childcare programme has embraced a new phase of training designed to benefit those involved in this sector.

A free workshop in Bury next Thursday (March 4) will show how childcare organisations can increase the control they have over their business by making better use of the information that they already use. Participants will learn how this information can be used to produce a simple system outlining their business position, enabling voluntary committees to make well informed decisions about the future of their business.

The workshop takes place between 10am-4pm at The Village Hotel at the Waterfold Business Park, Rochdale Road, Bury.

Childcare professionals should register in advance for the course by calling 0800 294 2904. Information is also available at: www.surestart.gov.uk/support4business.
