  • help organisations meet the requirements for strategic three year funding
  • support the voluntary and community sector’s role in delivering public services and in building stronger communities
• Support for partnership projects between the Council and voluntary and community organisations including raising awareness about the local Compact
• Support  for voluntary and community organisations to work together  
• Help to bring in additional funds from outside sources for voluntary and community organisations
• Advice and guidance on child protection issues and help with Criminal Records Bureau checks
