Improving lives
and connecting
communities
across South
Staffordshire
Our
Services
Development Support
We provide development support and advice to local voluntary
and community groups throughout South Staffordshire. We also
carry out funding searches and help develop bids with groups.
Whilst we offer support to all groups there is a local focus on
working with children and younger people, and older people.
Volunteering
We are ready to place people in their perfect volunteer
opportunity through our network of 100s of local community and
voluntary groups. We also provide best practice support and
training to groups and individuals.
Work Clubs
We work very closely with the local South Staffordshire Work
Clubs. Our volunteer duty officers will be on hand offering
advice on how volunteering can help job seekers gain vital skills
that will help them into employment.
Community Support
Our Community Support Co-Ordinator utilises community
resources to provide social, non-medical remedies to those over
50 with multiple complex needs, people with a long term health
condition, the frail elderly, and carers. This helps people to better
self-manage their illnesses and increase their independence.
Training
We provide a variety of training courses relevant to local
communities and its voluntary and community sector. Topics
include First Aid, Computers for Beginners & Intermediates,
Committee Skills, Project Planning, Finance, Food Hygiene,
Funding, Marketing & Social Media.
Community Learning Trust
We facilitate the Locality Working Group, a district partnership of
adult learning providers in South Staffordshire, promoting and
planning collaborative working and sharing information and
best practice. Everyone who has an interest in adult learning is
welcome to join.
Networking
Throughout the year we arrange a number of events where
local community and voluntary groups are able to gather and
are updated on the latest sector news. At our Community Voice
Forums groups are given the opportunity to network, and link in
on future projects, with each other.
Partnership
We act as the voice of local groups, facilitating a regular Third
Sector Forum attended by key agencies and public sector
representatives, are active within the South Staffordshire Locality
Commissioning Partnership, and engage on wider issues with
partners in Support Staffordshire and VAST. We are involved in
the development of the local Compact and a volunteering
strategy.
Marketing & Social Media
If your community group or charity has an upcoming event,
some good news you’d like people to know about, or a
volunteering position available we would be more than happy
to publicise this for you through our website, fortnightly
newsletter and social media channels.
