Community Development in your Area

Making a Difference

We work with local residents, community organisations and partner agencies (such as parish councils, Suffolk ACRE, the Police and youth or education services) to help them to get projects off the ground. This may include:

• Advice on funding and training
• Help with setting up committees or writing constitutions
• Advice on how to recruit and manage volunteers.
