Brightmere Council can provide local information and signposting for voluntary, community and civil-society organisations where that falls within the council's role.
How the council may help
The council can help organisations identify the correct local service, understand relevant council engagement opportunities and find routes into community or place-based activity.
Independent organisations
Community organisations remain responsible for their own governance, finances, membership and activities unless a specific council arrangement says otherwise.
Contacting the council
Explain what your organisation does and what kind of council information or support you are seeking so the enquiry can be directed to the right service.
Working with community organisations
Voluntary and community organisations may interact with the council through several service areas, including community participation, recreation, local wellbeing and local information. The appropriate route depends on the subject rather than on the organisation simply being part of the voluntary sector.
The council can help an organisation identify the right council contact or public body, but should not imply that support, funding or formal recognition is available unless an actual scheme exists.
