Services and Projects

Community Empowerment Project: Free Advisory Service

We can offer practical help and guidance to local community and voluntary groups as part of our Community Empowerment Project. Please click on the links on the left for more information.

How do individuals and groups begin setting themselves up into successful vehicles for community empowerment, let alone wade through the morass of government policies, charity law, jargon and fights for funding?

With help from the Community Fund, we can provide free advice and information on areas such as:-

We can also provide tailored training sessions for Management Committees and Boards on request.

Our particular target groups are:

  • Black and Minority Ethnic groups
  • Residents of 'Pathways' (the most deprived) areas on Merseyside and
  • Refugee and Asylum Seeker communities

To arrange an appointment to speak about any of these issues, please contact us or fill in the on-line form on our Contact page, where you can also find our telephone and address details.

Although the service is free, we welcome donations from groups who are able to pay. Please see our Scale of Donations for guidance.

Organisation Health Check

This section is under development, and will contain a questionnaire you can fill in online to assess the current status of your organisation. This can be useful in determining what shortfalls you may have and what help you may need. You can submit it to us with a request for an appointment, or simply keep it for your own reference.
