Getting
Started
There
are many different reasons for starting up a community
group or project. It could be to provide a service, address
a need or to generally improve the quality of life for
local people. Or, it could simply be the joining together
of a group of people who share the same interests, such
as an art group or the local badminton club.
Whatever the reason,
the need for a clear structure is essential. The Buchan Community
Toolbox aims to set out the requirements you will need to
satisfy, to ensure that your group or organisation runs smoothly
from the outset.
The topics covered
here are:
1) Group structure
2) Writing a constitution
3) Meetings and
committees
4) Managing money
5) Applying for
charitable status
