A helping hand for community groups

Eight community groups are being offered the chance to benefit from a helping hand in making the best use possible of their skills and surroundings.

Building Sustainable Neighbourhoods’ Planning Ahead Team is offering the eight groups the opportunity to take part in a week-long Workshop and Information Session (WISe) covering a host of subjects.

These will then culminate in an “Apprentice Style” feedback session at the end of the week.

Subjects covered in the sessions will be:

Moving with the Times – computerise your world
Maximise Your Assets – Make use of that under used community room
Monitoring Your Users – “What’s Your Name and Where Do You Come From?”
Project Development & Action Planning – On your marks, get set, GO

The course is being held:

Monday 1st March – Friday 5th March 2010
Time:  9.30 a.m. – 3.30 p.m.

At:  Building Sustainable Neighbourhoods
The Opportunities Centre
