Information on Resources available to Voluntary, Community Groups and Social Enterprises

We know that there is a wide range of groups involved in a variety of activities to improve and support local communities in Croydon. Each group needs a range of resources to deal with setting up, managing and developing their services. You may want to look at the following pages:

CVA's Publications	e.g. Annual Report
CVA's Policies	Procedures we use to ensure we deliver good services
Useful Statistics	Read about an example of how to present statistics
CVA Directory	Really useful list of groups in Croydon. If you do not appear on this list, you need to sign up (for free) as a CVA member
Model Policies	Useful list that groups often need when starting out

We can add to this section quite easily. Your feedback will help us do this. As a work in progress, this website will change as you suggest things. Do contact us with ideas.

Useful resource - Guide to New Trusts

Community projects looking to increase their income from trust funds can purchase a downloadable digital copy The Guide to New Trusts. This was originally available in a print version but due to unprecendented demand has already sold out.

Published by The Directory of Social Change, it features 100 newly formed trusts that were registered with the Charity Commission in 2010 and early 2011. The directory costs £24.95 and lists funding areas and exclusions as well as application details.

Frustration and disappointment often accompany a grant application refusal.
