Love where you live?
Or is there something you want to improve?
Get started with the basics to make it happen

Are you just getting started with changing your community for the better?

If you want to save or take over a local asset, improve a space, place or service or plan for the future, My Community help you get the basics in place to make your community dreams a reality.

There are some important questions you need to think about when setting out to take action in your community:

• Who is your community?
• What are you trying to achieve?
• What sort of organisation do you need?
• What is your plan for your community project?
• How much money will you need to kick-start and develop your idea?

It’s important to take the time to understand what you are trying to achieve when setting up a new community group or organisation. This will ensure that you are in the right position to use the community rights, apply for finance or funding and most importantly, get the support you need from people in your community to help make these plans happen.
