Organisation Support
Development Officers are here to help your community group get off the ground. They are dedicated, passionate and experienced.
Whether a registered charity or an individual, a sports club or a faith group, a campaign or a community clean-up, no project is too big or too small.
You don’t need to be part of an existing community group and you don’t need to be a member of staff—we also work with local residents, volunteers and trustees.
VCSE Activation Contract
As of July 2024 we are working under a new interim contract. We will be delivering targeted support to VCSE organisations (identified through a data-driven approach) that can show they divert citizens away from health and care services, including children’s and young people’s services, provided by the public sector.
During the first two weeks of the new contract, we will be identifying which groups are eligible for support. We will be in touch with them in due course.
Eligible groups will receive an organisational diagnostic to identify the priority areas that your organisation needs to address. Through this process, we will be able to provide you with a development plan that we will resource through a small support fund. This will fund or match-fund specialist support to meet your development plan. If you require specialist support you will work with an approved consultant/staff member to carry out the actions in your plan.
For groups that are not eligible under this contract or via support we can provide through other means, you can access self-serve resources in our resource hub. Alternatively, we can speak to you about paid-for 1:1 support for your group at a rate of £40 per hour, £150 per half day or £250 per full day.
We also provide bespoke in-house training for staff, volunteers, management committees and boards.
Community Action create each session around the specific and unique needs of your organisation. We work on the issues that are important to you.
