Our Community Development Team gives local organisations and motivated individuals the knowledge, encouragement and access to resources that will enable them to "make things happen" in their communities.
Funding knowledge is of key importance to many organisations - where to get it, how to apply for it. We can help! (Also check out Funding & Grants).
