Charity Support
We give support to grassroots organisations, groups and community projects.
We offer advice, information and training to new and existing groups, as well as statutory and third sector organisations in Berwickshire.
We understand things can seem a little complicated, so if you need help with anything below, you’re in the right place.

Choosing the right legal structure

How it works
We can provide our support in a way that suits you. If you prefer one to one sessions by phone or email, that’s fine. Otherwise, we can deliver help through training sessions and workshops.
By the end, you should be able to recognise your strengths and learn how to develop your organisation further.
