Develop your group

If you have an idea for a project or are looking to set-up a group that there is a need for, there is practical help available to help you to deliver your goals more effectively.

SUSTAiN’s Community Development Officer offers free of charge one-to-one support, listening to your ideas and helping you in making your ideas a reality.

Support can be provided at any stage, from the initial setting-up of an activity, to helping with the development of projects, policies, governance and growth, and if necessary, helping groups to wind up.

Some examples of the types of support available are:

  • helping groups assess their needs
  • capacity building support at different stages of development
  • setting up and running volunteering programmes
  • development of constitutions/legal structures
  • charity registration
  • management committees/trustees
  • policy development

If there is anything your group feels it needs support with, please contact Manjit Johal, Community Development Officer at SUSTAiN on 0121 711 3148 or iag@solihull-sustain.org.uk. It is always good to talk, and even better when the service is free!
