Support available
Organisations are keen to encourage local groups to form and can provide a fair amount of resources, including ideas for action, speakers, networks etc. A group will often benefit from regular links with several organisations. Focus first on the specific objectives of your own group and then look into how you can benefit from supportive organisations.
In addition, groups may often find local support from local government or organisations willing to provide venues, training or funding.
Here are some useful links for new groups to gain ideas and information.
