Do you live in a rural place in Berkshire (population of less than 10,000)? Is your community interested in providing a service to the community? For example knitting circles, lunch clubs and playgroups or shops, pubs and transport schemes or even libraries that are threatened with closure?
Village Support Support, Outreach and Sustainability (VSOS) is a campaign that aims to create a network of sustainable community projects, through building capacity, supporting development and empowerment actions. Through VSOS projects will be able to access one to one support bespoke to their needs, capacity and capability from a local partner, and be supported to become sustainable. This training workshop will provide your community with more information on how to access this service and make the most of the help available.
How can Village SOS help me?
Tools, support and expert guidance are on offer to help communities take a step towards starting their own businesses and guide them through the journey from their initial idea to transforming the area. Take a look at the website www.villagesos.org.uk to find out more.
