Group members are currently organising a bank account for Fishponds Planning; it’s proving slightly more complex than one might have expected, but soon we’ll have the ability to receive and manage funds – including our recently recognised application for funding from First Steps, an initiative that assists local community groups like ours when they first form – a small but exciting step in our journey.
As well as a small cash development fund, First Steps offer training to applicants in key areas to help their group reach their goals. We’re very pleased to have First Steps support!
