Group Development Services

 

There are many aspects to running a group and it can be difficult to keep fully informed on all of them. Develop can offer help in a number of ways:

  • Fact Sheets & Model Documents  - We provide a range of Fact Sheets on various aspects of governance and group development. We can also provide model documents, policies and procedures for you to adapt to your organisation.

  • Funding Advice - we have a range of resources to help you with funding and can offer one to one sessions with a funding advisor at our funding surgeries. Further information is in our Funding Advice pages.

  • Training - we offer training in various aspects of running a group as well as practical subjects such as first aid and food hygiene. Further information is on our Training page

  • Events - our events offer the opportunity to hear experienced speakers on a range of topics. There is also time for specific questions relating to your own groups needs and networking with other groups who may have useful insights and information. Further information is on our Events page

  • Chief Officers and Trustees Networks offer specifically targeted support for the governance of your organisation. Further information on our Chief Officers/Trustee Network page.

  • Group Development Workers - If you need further information and support our Group Development workers can guide you through our web-based resources and advise you on a range of issues including: your group’s structure and business plan; trustee and related management and governance issues;  training needs, etc. If we are not able to answer your queries ourselves we will signpost you to other organisations or sources of information which can be of help. We will try to help you as quickly as possible but, please be advised that our development workers have many calls on their time and be patient with any delays. To speak to a Group Development Worker please Contact Us.
