A community group is formed when people who see the need for a particular activity or service in their area get together to do something about it.
If you are thinking of starting a group, Support Cambridgeshire can help you think about how to get started. Our Getting Started Toolkit, a basic guide for groups looking to do good in their community is a good place to start.
We can support you with the policies you need to run your group. If your group is already up and running, we can help you think about how you are organised and funded. Our free on demand videos will also help.
