What we do… We provide support to local voluntary and community groups that helps them to:
Whether your group is large or small, established or new, we can help you to strengthen and develop it. Using our local knowledge and expertise to operate at the heart of the community, we aim to provide straightforward, useful information to help people run community and voluntary groups.
How we help you Our Community Development Team produces a number of free facts sheets and toolkits for voluntary and community groups. Our information pages are simply written and aim to cover the essentials of running a group and its activities.
We update these information pages regularly and add new ones when we can. If you are looking for information on something not listed here, please contact us – we may be able to help.

Funding questionnaire. We all need funding and when an opportunity presents itself, it is tempting to apply even if it isn’t quite right. But it takes a huge amount of resources to apply for grants. If we chased every opportunity, we would waste time and money we could better spend elsewhere and wouldn’t do justice to those opportunities which are most important.
Only you can make that decision – but we have outlined some questions that will help you to reach that decision and give you the relevant information you need to target where you should apply for funding. For further information on the funding questionnaire contact the Community Development Team on 01425 482773.
Fundraising toolkit - A guide to fundraising and organising fundraising events giving you guidance with the key aspects of successful fundraising. For further information on the Toolkit contact the Community Development Team on 01425 482773.
