About this Event
Join us for a practical and engaging workshop focused on building strong, sustainable and impactful community groups.
We’ll explore how to create a clear shared vision, develop confident and supportive leadership, and build positive group culture where everyone feels valued and heard. You’ll gain simple, realistic approaches to governance, running effective meetings, and managing challenges constructively.
The session will also cover financial basics and funding opportunities, ways to strengthen community connections, and how to demonstrate the difference your group makes. We’ll look at how to recruit and support volunteers in a way that feels manageable and rewarding for everyone involved.
Finally, we’ll reflect on how groups can learn, adapt and grow over time—helping you build a resilient group that can thrive and make a lasting impact in your community.
