How we work

Because we recognise that every group is different, we prepare and deliver information and support in the way that most meets your groups' needs.

How much support?

We can provide up to 2 full days of support to any group. These can be made up of a mixture of activities including: One to one meetings; Attendance at staff or committee meetings; In house short training sessions; Telephone or e-mail support.

We will discuss this with you once we know your needs to ensure you get the support you need.

Equal Opportunities

We are committed to providing an environment that ensures equality of opportunity and freedom from unlawful discrimination for all our staff and service users. We therefore expect all our service users and staff to respect one another and not act in a discriminatory manner.

Where it is felt that any behaviour has shown a lack of respect, prejudice or been discriminatory, this will be challenged.

Our staff reserve the right not to work with any individuals or groups who discriminate against them, and any incidences shall be treated seriously.

If you feel you have been discriminated against by our staff due to equal opportunities issues, we encourage you to use our complaints procedure.

What we can do:
  • Help you understand funding processes and what's involved
  • Help you identify the most suitable funders for your project
  • Give information and presentations about funding to others in your group, to raise awareness and help discussion
  • Help you develop your skills in making funding applications
  • Put you in contact with other agencies that can help
What we need you to do:
  • Bring along all your ideas and as much information as possible so we can make the outreach sessions as useful as possible
  • If we agree any tasks to be done, to carry these out before our next meeting
