Community Matters provides support to not for profit community organisations across the UK. This includes a knowledge hub of information which forums can use to support them with policies and procedures. Community Matters also has information on legal structures and can support forum steering groups to consider the option which suits them best.
Community Matters also have a particular expertise in supporting organisations managing community buildings and some forums may find this useful. Community Matters also offer a range of training options which forums may want to purchase.
All forums have a subscription to Community Matters knowledge-bank which provides advice, information and support with governance and legal issues. Forums can get the information on how to access this from their Contact Adviser.
