Funded by the Nationwide Foundation, this is a two year programme to help community groups in England in the critical early stages of their project. It provides help with everything from choosing a legal structure to funding guidance.
Successful groups will receive one-to-one assistance from experienced sector professionals. There is also a small grant pot available to help with early stage costs.
