Group Support
Our team has a wealth of experience in helping voluntary and community groups to develop the tools they need to succeed. We can take the strain out of writing procedures, policies & strategies and can provide an organisation healthcheck to see what gaps if you have any and make recommendations to help.
Through the free support we provide, VAAC is able to help organisations to grow and achieve their aims; last year alone (2018-2019), we helped small organisations to raise £52,389 through funding applications, 202 new volunteer opportunities were advertised, the development team provided one-to-one support to 150 organisations and 122 people attended VAAC training events on subjects including First Aid, Data Protection/GDPR, Making every Contact Count, Resilience and Trustee Training.

As VAAC’s Development Team we are interested in how your organisation is fairing if you have had a member of the team giving you support and advice in the last couple of months.
For some of you it may still be early days and you have not put in place the things we discussed. We wanted to let you know that the team is here if you need more support – our way of thinking is that there is no such thing as a silly / stupid question. With that in mind her is our VAAC Development Team Referral form if there is something new you would like to discuss or you would welcome a review.
We have supported 76 organisations since the beginning of April. Thank you to those of you who have emailed directly to express your response. 51% have responded to the on-line survey which is great. If you have not completed the online survey please to do so. The information from the survey is used to inform what and how we can help you and is part of the statistical data for our funders.

Dramatis is a community drama school with funded projects.
VAAC has helped Dramatis get to grips with the ins and outs of setting up a community group. Great support in regards to setting up their constitution and knowing there is somewhere to go when confused.
