Welcome to the Caithness Voluntary Group Website!
We
offer support to groups on whatever they require. For funding this may
be one-to one support throughout the funding process, from the initial
enquiry, helping groups identify funders for their project to checking
over the application before submitting it. We have the latest
publication on the major trusts and access to online funder
information which we use to help groups identify funders that may offer
grants to their projects.
We also offer advice on constitutions, and help groups update and make amendments to their constitutions if necessary. With new charity legislation in place it is important to check your constitution to ensure that it reflects the activities and aims of your group.
We organise training workshops throughout the year that have been identified as needed by the voluntary sector. If your group has identified a training need then we will try and deliver a training workshop or advice on the issue.
