Community Groups Networking

We hold network events to give community groups across the borough the opportunity to meet up to share ideas, challenges and successful projects.

Constitutions

All groups that have a committee and group bank account are required to have a constitution. A constitution is a basic set of rules that TRAs must have to be recognised and to apply for funding. It covers the aims of a group and gives guidance on how a group will operate. Help will be given to new groups to develop a constitution. View our model constitution below.
