Your questions answered…
What’s on offer? Two activity-based workshops to help you understand how to identify local needs and plan community action. The first will be delivered in 3 local areas (Braintree, Halsted and Witham) and the second will be for everyone who has attended one of the first sessions.
Who is it for? Local residents, community activists, people who are thinking of setting up a community organisation or are running a community group – paid or unpaid.
Am I eligible? If you are thinking of starting something up within the Braintree area or are running something that operates in the area – YES!
Do I have to attend both sessions? You can attend just one session but we think it will be most useful if you come to both.
Will it be too academic? ARU has 20 years’ experience working with community groups and activists like you. The sessions will be based on activities – learning by doing.
I’m already running a group, is this for me? Possibly – but see if our Masterclass series would be more helpful, or the sessions for social entrepreneurs.
How much does it cost? The good news is that thanks to Braintree District Council all places are fully-funded.
