What we do

We work with voluntary & community groups:-

  • to maximise their effectiveness in meeting their objectives,
  • by supporting them to run efficiently and effectively,
  • to make the most of their existing resources and access additional ones,
  • to work cooperatively and collaboratively when appropriate,
  • to identify unmet needs and service gaps for their beneficiaries or communities and take opportunities to develop services to meet these gaps.  

By using our bank of knowledge about who does what, in the voluntary and community sector, across the county we are uniquely placed to bring groups together to resolve issues for geographic communities or ‘communities of interest' (eg. those working with people with mental health problems). Resolution of an issue may include development of new services or to collectively influence policy makers about a relevant decision.

We also work to develop and deliver services where unmet need has been established but no successful solution to filling the gap has been identified.  These will be focused on meeting the needs of individuals.  Examples include the YouthBus, Wheels to Work and Gardening services.
