CAVOS
Supporting Voluntary and Community Action
You may have heard over the last year or so about our ‘How to’ Guides – word is spreading and these Guides are quickly becoming extremely popular with groups and organisations of all shapes and sizes.
What are they?
Our ‘How To Guides’ provide basic information on topics that may be of interest to your group. They’re very easy to understand and offer simple, straightforward, bite-sized information on a range of topics. Whether it’s from Setting up your group to Promotion or Social Fundraising these guides could give you the basic knowledge that you need to take a step in the right direction.
Maybe your group is just starting out and you don’t know where to start? – our Setting Up and Constitutions ‘How to’ Guides could help
Perhaps you’ve heard other groups talk about topics you’re not sure of and want to know more? – we have ‘How to’ Guides on Commissioning or Gift Aid
Do you have new committee members who need some information? – why not try our Policies, Running Effective Meetings, Roles and Responsibilities and Minute Taking ‘How to’ Guides
Your group may be considering different funding options – have a read through our SocialFundraising and Grant Funding ‘How to’ Guides to find out more
If your committee simply wants to have information about what’s appropriate to the group – we have ‘How to’ Guides on Attracting and Keeping Volunteers, CRB checks, Insurance or Promotion....these could be just what you need!
We’ve had excellent feedback on the guides and we don’t want you to miss the opportunity to have some of your own so check out our list to see what we have:
