We have recently produced a Community Support Pack which provides information and advice to community groups and individuals who want to improve their neighbourhood.
The pack acts as a directory of useful numbers and gives a step by step guide on how to successfully organise your first clean up| as well as ideas for other activities and projects that will benefit local communities.
We hope it will help you to improve your neighbourhood.
The pack includes information on:
-
how to get started, including simple steps to making a difference in your community
-
what's already happening: people share their experiences of setting up a voluntary group and carrying out environmental projects
-
neighbourhood awards, the national award scheme that gives recognition to those who have worked hard within their community to make it more beautiful
-
starting your community group, with information on getting people together, running your group, managing your money, constitutions
-
gaining publicity for your group
-
fundraising and what you need to consider when you are looking for money from potential funding bodies
-
insurance and advice on obtaining public liability insurance for your group
-
health and safety, including basic guidance on health and safety issues
