The Third Sector National Learning Alliance (TSNLA), led by John Harris, champions the role of third sector providers in promoting learning and skills for disadvantaged communities. Established in 2006, TSNLA acts as the national voice for over 600 learning providers, enhancing the quality of education through collaboration, sharing best practices, and fostering partnerships across sectors. We advocate for effective learning delivery, and our mission is to ensure that the unique contributions of the third sector are recognized and integrated into the national education framework.
