Voluntary group – A definition
A voluntary group is a collection of individuals who work together
to undertake certain activities for the benefit of the community –
whatever or whoever that community might be. PAVS is in touch with
over 600 voluntary groups in Pembrokeshire ranging from small specialist
self help groups run by users through to national charities. Groups
can operate on a national, county, district or neighborhood level
each tending to have their own specific area of interest.
These pages have been produced primarily for people who are thinking
about setting up a new voluntary or community group. They outline
some of the key considerations and steps that need to be taken. However,
the pages will also be relevant to established groups who may be wishing
to review their current status.
Our Setting up a group pages will give you information
on the following:
> Things to consider before you start
> The importance of research and networking
prior to setting up the group
> Constitutions – What they
are, why they are needed and the different types with links to a series
of model constitutions
> The characteristics, advantages
