Helpline for LSC-Funded Providers
Third Sector National Learning Alliance has launched a new telephone support service for third sector organisations to help with the transition from the LSC to the successor agencies.

Are you a third sector organisation currently receiving LSC funding directly or via another LSC provider and:
Have a question about the transition arrangements? Have a particular issue that you want advice on relating to the new system for managing and funding learning and skills? Want help to clarify the implications for your organisation of these changes?
