Starting up an organisation

York CVS regularly helps local people to set up new voluntary and community groups. We know that it can seem quite daunting to work out what to do first. Our Development staff can help you through the maze and give you information and advice to:

Help you think through what your new organisation will do

Understand your options in terms of legal structures, and choose the most suitable one for your needs

Find funding for your new group

Set up the right policies and procedures so that your organisation is operating safely and legally

Recruit new volunteers to help in your work

Put you in touch with other local organisations doing similar work

The fact sheets below will point you in the right direction on some of the issues you will need to think about.

If you would like to arrange to meet with a Development Worker, please ring 01904 621133 to arrange an appointment.

FACT SHEETS WILL BE AVAILABLE SOON
