To support the growth and success of the local third sector, we launched an exclusive e-learning platform in partnership with the Charity Learning Consortium in 2024. 

However, after careful consideration, we have decided to begin the process of closing our learning platform, The Learning Circle. This decision is part of a wider strategy to modernise our training offer and ensure we continue to meet the evolving needs of our members, partners, and communities.

While we update the infrastructure of our website, we will maintain access for exisitng users. Any individual or organisation with an active licence will retain access until they complete their course - but no later than 31 March 2026.

To support this transition we will be launching a new website filled with resources and online learning opportunities to support organisations at every stage of development. Our staff will also be participating in an SQA-recognised course in August 2026 while we redevelop our face-to-face training offer.

We appreciate your patience and understanding during this period of change and apologise for any inconvenience caused. Our commitment remains to provide relevant, accessible, and impactful learning to support the growth and resilience of the third sector in our region.
