The purpose of support is to build the sustainability of groups and their projects.

The Community Development Officer Claire Taylor-Crisp will focus support for voluntary/community organisations in the following ways:

for those organisations that are already established and in receipt of a FST grant that require help with their future sustainability, organisational development and continuation of project delivery
help can also be provided to form new groups in the area as required, with particular attention to establishing sustainable projects.
build the capacity of organisations by developing confidence, skills & knowledge of individuals within the organisations by mentoring, one-to-one support, organising training workshops and events
support established and some new voluntary and community organisations to develop in the 4 wards.
support organisations to be sustainable by working with them to identify their issues and needs and how to address them, and assist with diversification of income streams and strategic planning
identify potential funding sources and provide funding information via various means, including emails, funding searches, and funding events/surgeries
signpost to further support or training available to assist with sustainability
