Support for community groups

Can Westway Development Trust help your organisation? It can be difficult for community groups to survive; meeting spaces are expensive, attending meetings is time-consuming and demand for your service could be growing more quickly than you expected.

Westway’s Communities team can help you to find the resources you need. We offer support, advice and subsidised office space to help you get through difficult times.

Practical assistance

• Support with back-office functions such as payroll, accounts and recruitment
• Support with funding strategy and applications
• Linking organisations together and developing partnerships
• Signposting to useful resources
• Enabling organisations to recruit, retain and train trustees for rigorous governance
