Eligible businesses can apply for a grant of up to £300 and can be used to fund (or partially fund) specialist training.
Kendal BID’s Training Grant is designed to support local businesses by providing funding towards business-specific training opportunities. The grant aims to help organisations invest in the growth and development of their staff, ensuring they gain the skills and knowledge needed to perform effectively in their roles. By offering access to relevant training, the scheme not only strengthens individual businesses but also contributes to the wider growth and resilience of Kendal’s business community as a whole.
We encourage local businesses to take advantage of this opportunity to invest in their staff and strengthen the skills that support business growth and resilience.
This funding can be used for a variety of training and development opportunities, such as:
- Professional development courses to enhance staff expertise
- Training in customer service, digital skills, or leadership
- Health and safety or compliance training to meet industry standards
- Workshops that build confidence, efficiency, and teamwork
Even a small investment in training can make a big difference in boosting staff performance, improving customer experience, and supporting the long-term success of our local businesses.
