BETTER West Midlands is a project being supported by the Skills Funding Agency between now and March 2011. The project works across the region with employers of all sizes (and from all sectors) who are forced to make redundancies. This will of course be of particular interest to those voluntary organisations who are having to make staff redundant as a result of restrictions in funding.

Further details direct from the Skills Funding Agency, are copied below.
