We can help you set up a community group

If you’re looking to carry out regular clean-ups or care for a green space with your friends or neighbours, then we’d recommend becoming a formal community group.

This will not only provide more structure and help you access the right insurance cover, but it will also open up lots of other opportunities, including funding.

We know it might seem daunting, but we’re here to guide you through the whole process – from creating a constitution and getting insured, to fundraising and getting more volunteers involved.

We have project officers based in every local authority who can provide advice to anyone looking to set up a group and work independently.
