Getting Started

This toolkit has been created to provide an easy to use site with lots of information for community organisations and the people who work in them

It is designed to be a guide to community organisation and sets out the basic methods and principles of running a healthy community organisation. It provides useful information for starting up a community organisation and will outline the experience of others.

The toolkit is laid out in five distinct sections. You can dip into the toolkit picking a section or a topic. The section of healthy community organisation serves as a doorway into the rest of the toolkit. It can be used by community organisations to help determine their strengths and weaknesses.

In each section there is a checklist which will help you assess how your community organisation is performing against each of the areas. These can be printed out for easier use.
