NEW FOR 2024!
Beginning in June 2024, Birmingham Community Matters will be delivering a series of our Get help with your community group sessions, ONLINE!
We recognise that as small, voluntary community groups your time is limited. We want to help; by giving you the option to attend a face-to-face event or join us online to talk with a BCM helper about any questions, ideas or challenges you have about your group.
This online session will also give you the opportunity to meet other like-minded people that run local community groups and are making things happen in Birmingham.
This event is for you if you are setting up, running or growing a small community or voluntary group in Birmingham and you have an idea or a challenge you'd like to talk over with someone who has lots of experience of doing something similar. It’s taking place on Tuesday 4th June- from 18:30pm untill 20:00pm- online.
It’s being run by Birmingham Community Matters.
Popular topics people have talked about before:
- Structures (choosing a structure - what sort of group to set up)
- Governance (recruiting trustees, good practice in running a group or charity)
- Fundraising (finding funders, tips on writing applications, costing bids)
- Promotion (reaching more people, including volunteers).
- And much more!
Sorry - no CICs or other social enterprises
We can’t take registrations from people setting up or running CICs and other social enterprises. Here’s why - and where you can get the right support
How to register
Register using Eventbrite - we’ll ask you a few simple questions about your community group/project/idea, so we know how best to support you on the day.
Thank you for helping us to manage our limited resources.
Thanks to our funders and volunteers, this event is free for you to attend. If you sign up and later find you can’t make it, that’s no problem - please let us know, though, so we can allocate your space to someone else. Thank you for helping us to help as many people as we can. We look forward to seeing you!
