Setting up a new organisation 

Setting up a new organisation/wanting to run a community activity?

First of all, use our online Croydon directory to find out if there’s already a group in the borough doing the same or something very similar with which you can link.

Visit Know How Non Profit pages on setting up an organisation.

If you just want to run a community activity, rather than set up an organisation, a better bet for you might be the My Community Starter toolkit.

Can't find what you are looking for on this page and/or would find it helpful to talk to someone in person? Head of Capacity Building, Bhupendra Solanki can help you get started.

 Keen to get started?

You are really keen to start up - you’ve been helping a group of people informally and want to do more.  Join one of CVA’s networks to find out what is going on locally - they are valuable ways of meeting people doing similar work. You can also get volunteers through the Volunteer Centre Croydon.

      
 Other Resources

You can download a useful guide below which Grantfinder put together and also our Social Enterprise Legal Structure guide.
