Already have a group?

Our Community Development Team provides information, guidance and resources to ​ensure local groups, clubs and charities have everything needed to start, grow and thrive.

In addition to our Community Development expertise and advice, we bring together ​local voluntary organisations and community groups, encouraging them to put forward their ​views on local and national policies and decisions at regular Networking and Forum ​events.

Need help? We offer advice on setting up new organisations, understanding different ​charity structures, and registering with the Charity Commission. We also provide guidance ​on charity law, governance, best practices, securing funding, writing funding applications, ​and developing policies and procedures.

Become a Community People member to get full access to all of our Community Development ​expertise and advice, advance notice and booking opportunities for networking events, ​forums and training and subscribe to our E-Bulletin newsletter for regular updates on ​funding, events and job opportunities.
