LWN'S Training Programme

LWN has a proud record of providing training for women in the Labour Party. Ever since 1988 when LWN was founded, easily accessible training has been one of our prime objectives. Shown below is the LWN Rolling Programme for Training but if you want to receive training on something not mentioned, please do not hesitate to contact us.

The venue is usually in Birmingham on a Saturday from 10 am until 4 pm. A light lunch is provided and, if required, overnight accommodation can be booked. What it costs: £5 plus travel expenses, and overnight accommodation if required.

Tailor made courses
