Finance Hub Resources

Non-money support

There are various ways that voluntary and community groups can get resources for their work, and this is not always about cash. This section of the Finance Hub site contains information and resources for third sector organisations seeking various forms of non-money support.

Case studies

Worsbrough Common Community Association

This case study tells the story of how a Community Association in a deprived area set about identifying need and then raising the money. It includes all the work done to consult with the community, draw up plans, get costings and writing a business plan as well as the application process for the BIG’s Reaching Communities programme. Includes advice from BIG on applying to Reaching Communities and top tips.
