  • Check out the range of services offered by groups
  • Find out if there are any services that could be provided but are not
  • Offer support and guidance to groups
  • Develop networks between groups where good practice can be shared
  • Help voluntary and community groups to influence decision making
  • Help prepare organisations to access new ways of funding
  • Identify and support representatives on strategic partnerships
The project aims to increase knowledge, information-sharing, networking and representation to build the capacity of the voluntary/community sector in Calderdale.
