Community Groups

As well as topic boxes, tailored to provide information to community groups on all aspects of community development and involvement, we have the FunderFinder software which helps groups locate sources of funding for their activities (staff are on hand to help with this). We also offer a resources outreach service to community groups (particularly in the East Preston area). We can bring relevant resources out to your group - as well as FunderFinder and help and advise on producing community newsletters and other publicity materials.
