Communities working together
Often new arrivals to a city can feel isolated and alone.
If you are a new arrival to the city we can support you by helping
you to get in touch with people from your own community or we can
help you to develop your own community organisations. If you are
part of a community group or are interested in starting one, we
will provide ongoing support and training on how to establish,
manage and sustain a group with other members of your
community.
Meet people from your own communities
The project can:
- Help to establish the aims and objectives of your community
group
- Help to formalise a committee and create a constitution
- Help to develop a business plan and management skills
- Help in accessing training in areas such as bid writing,
marketing, fundraising and media skills
- Offer use of meeting rooms and offices, telephone and fax,

- Provide regular information packs containing updated
information on services delivered, training, conferences, advice
available and contact details of other organisations and
agencies

leaflet, newsletter or website
