Do you have a community-based project or idea, and need advice and support or guidance on how and where to get started, or what to do next? Our team will help you to focus, get organised, and then plan a way forward that fits with your priorities and aspirations. We fill the gaps you may have in skills, knowledge, or lack of time… We help with project management and coordination, writing and supporting funding applications and with partner and stakeholder brokerage and support.

We help you identify your needs and – where needed – challenge and encourage you to make changes so that you can move forwards, establish a resilient and robust business model, and ensure that the project remains viable post-completion for years to come.  

We help build capacity, resilience and sustainability in organisations, groups and new ventures. We give ideas and advice on legal structures, funding, staffing, income generation and how to keep your project up to date and relevant for the future. With over 25 years of experience in placemaking, community development and fundraising we know what it takes. 

We have lived experiences of the challenges faced by groups and voluntary sector organisations and have delivered many successful projects including: 

• The Pavilion, Chichester, see thepavilionchichester.com
• Graylingwell Chapel, see graylingwellchapel.com

We oversaw both these projects in their entirety, from the very start of the journey at feasibility research stage, through to acquiring the asset, finding funding, community engagement, stakeholder engagement, capital works and restoration, and ongoing operation of the business.

We match purpose-led organisations with community assets to ensure the buildings and organisations are resilient for the future.
