Training
We support groups to identify training needs and through a co-ordinated approach signpost you to suitable training opportunities.
Basic Support
Lots of groups face the same typical issues: setting up, charity registration, finding funds and so on. We can help you identify what you need and recommend a way forward.
In-depth Support
For a limited number of groups we will be able to provide a programme of longer term support in managing major organisational changes and development.
