Community Development
The Community Development Team at AVOW is highly dedicated to:
“Enabling individuals and groups to gain the knowledge, training and support needed to reach their full potential”.
With an extensive range of experience and knowledge, signposting, up to date information, advice and support, we can provide local communities and voluntary organisations with:
- The initial set up of a voluntary/community organisation in terms of governance, procedures and funding;
- Funding searches and funding advice for your organisation;
- Support and advice on any aspect of running a voluntary or community organisation
- Training and development opportunities;
- Networking opportunities for organisations in and around the local area;
- Project/event development and management;
For all Trustees on Finance Committees the following document is relevant to your personal development to help you understand some of the accounting elements in charitable organisations.
This is a very useful easy to understand guide for anyone planning a Community Event – http://www.co-operative.coop/PageFiles/989443780/Community-Toolkit.pdf
“I have dealt with avow in my capacity as committee member of Holt Local history society a number of years ago, when Heather Hicks visited me to go through funding applications we were considering making. I have also attended a health and hygiene course in my capacity as committee member of Kenyon Hall in Holt and now have approached you re: the Holt Village website. You are basically my first point of call.”
Bev Mcconville, Holt Village Website

“I have never given volunteering a thought. I often felt it was not worth it! But now, I feel so valued and I’m making new friends and learning new things for employment.”

“As a result of your help our community now has 70 acres of recreational land that might otherwise have been sold for other purposes.”
