Small Group Project

Practical help and support to small local voluntary and community groups in the High Peak, particularly those who are disadvantaged, marginalised or rurally isolated.

  • In need of help, advice or encouragement in starting or developing a community or voluntary group? 
  • Do you have a good idea, but don't know where to start?
  • Perhaps you are a member of a group or organisation that needs information or advice?

The Small Group Project is available to offer this free service to groups in the High Peak.

Help can be given in many ways:
  • Advice on researching needs and clarifying aims
  • Deciding on the structure of the group or organisation
  • Advice on Constitutions
  • Identifying roles and responsibilities of Management Committee members
  • Advice on running meetings
  • Funding advice
  • Details of charitable status
  • Networking - putting you in touch with others who can help
  • Keeping up to date through our Newsletter
  • Training advice

    SGP stall at OWF - Click to enlargeYou may simply want to discuss your ideas with someone to help you make a decision. You might have a one-off enquiry that we can assist with. We are here to help.

    We particularly want to work with the smaller groups who may not be very experienced in voluntary action. We also want to reach people who do not normally have easy access to this kind of help. This might be because they live in an area where they are isolated. It might be that they are disadvantaged in some way, perhaps through disability.

    The project also has resources to loan free of charge to groups such as a digital camera, display boards, gazebo, and marker board. Our reference books and various publications also offer a valuable resource to groups seeking information. We also run training courses to help groups meet identified needs.

    All the services of the Small Group Project are completely free to groups.

    We can visit you anywhere within the High Peak. Give us a call to make a convenient appointment.

    Small Group Project Co-ordinator - Liz Fletcher

    Liz offers support to small voluntary and community groups and particularly those that are marginalised, disadvantaged or rurally isolated. She can visit groups anywhere in the High Peak. Help can include advice on structures of groups, roles and responsibilities of management committee members, funding, running meetings, charitable status and training.

    Small Group Administration Assistant - Louise McNeil

    Louise supports Liz in the work of the Small Group Project and also assists some groups with administrative work. By providing extra assistance to SGP, Louise can add value so allowing Liz additional time to go out and visit their groups.
