Voluntary Action Wakefield District's support for rural groups

We offer help and support to Wakefield District's rural voluntary and community groups as part of the RISS – connecting rural communities programme.

We offer practical guidance, support and information to support groups to deliver and develop their work more effectively.

Examples of the types of support include:

· funding bids

· policy development

· setting up a management committee

· legal structures

· planning

· working in partnership with others.

We are also supporting rural networks in Wakefield District to provide a voice for rural groups and to support groups to influence local decisions.
