What we offer

How can CITY.COMM help ?

CITY.COMM works with local voluntary and community groups to help them develop their skills and knowledge. Our staff work with new groups that are just starting out and established groups that want to develop their activities. Our Resource Bank provides sample policies that we recommend you put in place. We are happy to talk through any of these sample policies with you on a one-to-one basis or with your organisation's staff, trustees and volunteers.
