Given these commitments, when we work with organisations our priority is to work with community organisations that are: strongly connected to the communities they serve, who understand the needs and aspirations of their community, and who are working to achieve the outcomes that the community values most.


There are many different tools and resources to support community groups and to help community groups achieve their objectives. In the table below, you’ll find links to some tools and resources that we think are useful for community groups.
