NALA wins competitive funding bid for plain English training

Together with 11 partners in the community, voluntary and charitable sector, NALA has won a very competitive funding bid for The Wheel’s Training Links Grant Programme. This funding will be used to provide plain English training to members of the newly formed Plain English Network (PEN).

NALA hopes that this innovative training will enable up to 160 participants to communicate more clearly and effectively by partaking in training that they may not otherwise have been able to afford. The training will enable the participants to gain a greater awareness of literacy issues in Ireland and to recognise and respond effectively to these issues both within their own organisations and in the wider community. NALA would like to thank the members of PEN for their support and assistance with this project.
