It is important to undertake some research and do some networking
prior to setting up a group.
This will help you to find out:
> whether or not a similar group already exists at a local, regional
or national level.
> whether there is any available evidence of need.
There are a number of good sources of information about existing voluntary
groups which are outlined in the table below and which would be a
good place to start in carrying out your research. It might also be
useful to talk to key people from within the local authority, health
authority, national park authority and regional or national organisations
in the field of work that you are interested in.
