Capacity building for community groups involves enhancing your group’s skills, knowledge, and resources, to effectively achieve your organisation’s goals.
This process includes training, workshops, and access to information that will empower you to manage projects, secure funding, and advocate for your needs.
The programme also aims to fosters stronger networks and partnerships, enabling groups to collaborate more efficiently.
Ultimately, capacity building aims to create sustainable, resilient communities that can address local challenges independently.
UKSPF aims to improve pride in place and increase life chances across the UK, investing in communities and place, and supporting local businesses, people, and skills.
