Community Toolkit - Guide to running small local events

This website gives you some guidance to inspire you and, most importantly, provide you with some information you may need to get started. It includes guidance on some legal, health and safety, insurance and planning issues. There is also a useful tool that creates a free Community Toolkit Pack adapted to the kind of activities you want to carry out with handy information sheets.

You can use it for a one-off event like a fundraising bingo night or it could be something regular like taking elderly neighbours shopping once a week. That’s the great thing about Community Toolkit – it’s helpful across a wide range of activities.

To give you examples of what’s possible with the help of Community Toolkit, here are some types of activities that you may consider:

                         

·         Befriending the elderly

·         Fundraising activities

·         Shopping and prescription collections

·         Garden and grounds maintenance schemes

·         Arts and creative community projects Heritage and environmental projects

·         Community groups Litter picking
