Lunch & Learn: Data Protection – the fun overview

Date: Wednesday, 12 March

Data protection doesn’t have to be a headache—or a snooze-fest!

Join us for a lively, no-jargon overview session designed specifically for small charities in Somerset.

During this Lunch & Learn session, we’ll cover the basics: what data protection is, your key responsibilities, and what you really need to know to stay on the right side of the law.

Who is it for?

Volunteers and staff from VCFSE organisations (including community interest companies, community benefit societies and unincorporated organisations) who want a clear, friendly introduction—without getting bogged down in the details. Let’s make data protection simple and stress-free!

If you are involved in managing and setting policies for your organisation, you may also be interested in our additional session (for leaders, trustees, and policymakers) on Tuesday 8 April. Find out more here.

About the trainer 

Your trainer for this session will be Susi Calder. With over 20 years of experience supporting hundreds of small charities, Susi has made it her mission to help them thrive, without drowning in jargon or paperwork.

Susi is passionate about making complex topics like data protection simple, practical, and even fun. Her training sessions are designed to be lively, plain-speaking, and packed with actionable advice, so you can focus on what really matters: making a difference. 

This training is offered as part of a project that is being funded by the UK Government through the Shared Prosperity Fund. Free tickets are solely available to VCFSE staff and volunteers from organisations operating in Somerset.
