I’m always keen to share opportunities that empower local residents, volunteers and community leaders to turn good ideas into real community impact.
If you’re considering setting up a Community Interest Company (CIC) or a Charitable Incorporated Organisation (CIO), there’s a CIC & Charity Start-Up Toolbox available that brings together practical guidance and resources in one place.
The toolbox includes support with: -
Registering and setting up your CIC or Charity CIO Draft constitutions.
Opening a UK bank account Insurance guidance.
Finding funding opportunities.
Essential policies and governance documents.
It also provides access to: -
Funding Finder – with search categories for Small Charities, Social Enterprises, Community Groups and Start-ups Data Finder Help Finder 60 downloadable policies to help you get started properly
For anyone in Carmarthenshire looking to launch a new community group, social enterprise or charitable project, this could save a huge amount of time and uncertainty in those early stages.
We have so many passionate individuals locally who want to make a difference — sometimes it’s just knowing where to begin that makes all the difference.
If you’re currently setting up a group, or thinking about it, feel free to comment below or drop me a message. I’m always happy to help signpost support and connect people where I can.Let’s keep building strong, sustainable community organisations right here in our area. Cllr.
