Turn Your Year-End Underspend into Training and Accreditation

As the end of the financial year approaches, many organisations are reviewing remaining training or project budgets.

Youth Cymru supports organisations to use year-end underspend on high-quality youth training and accreditation that is quick to commission, fully compliant, and easy to evidence — while also supporting planning for the year ahead.

Whether you’re ready to act now or simply want to explore options, we’re happy to start the conversation.

Who This Is For

This offer is designed for organisations that:

  • Have remaining training or project underspend

  • Need credible, compliant provision that can be commissioned quickly

  • Want flexibility around timing and delivery

  • Require clear outputs, evidence, and reporting

We regularly work with:

  • Local authorities and youth services

  • Third sector and voluntary organisations

  • Schools, FE providers, and other learning settings

  • Funded projects approaching year end

How We Can Help

We can support you in one of two ways:

1. Use Underspend This Financial Year

We can quickly scope and commission training with delivery that is:

  • In-house or blended

  • Accredited or non-accredited

  • Delivered before year end, or staged where appropriate

2. Plan Ahead with Confidence

If you’re not ready to commit immediately, we can:

  • Start the conversation now to allocate budget

  • Shape delivery around next year’s priorities

  • Build training into wider workforce or project plans

There’s no pressure to decide everything up front.

Underspend-Ready Training Options

  • In-house training days
    (e.g. safeguarding, youth participation, youth voice, climate action)

  • Short accredited units or pathways

  • Team CPD packages (4–8 weeks)

  • Train-the-trainer models

  • Blended offers (training plus light evaluation or reflection)

All options are clearly costed, easy to approve, and designed to meet audit and funding requirements.

Why Youth Cymru

  • Compliant and auditable provision

  • Flexible delivery for tight timescales

  • Strong youth-sector expertise

  • Clear evidence and reporting

We focus on making underspend useful, impactful, and low risk.

If you’d like to explore using year-end underspend — or plan training for the year ahead — we’d be happy to talk.
