Additional Information

Community Southwark Members are entitled to up to 5 hours of FREE one-to-one support per year. This support appointment and any follow up work will be deducted from your organisational support allowance.

Our service is intended to help you develop the skills to run your organisation effectively and sustainably. We are not able to do work such as writing funding applications for you, but we are able to give suggestions and provide support throughout the process.

If you need us to help you with a funding application or other piece of work to meet a deadline, we ask that you provide a minimum of two weeks’ notice.

Cancellations

If you are unable to attend an appointment for any reason, please do let us know as soon as possible. There are a limited number of appointments available per week so we may be able to offer your spot to another group looking for tailored support.

We will provide a minimum of 48 hours’ notice if we need to cancel a booked session (unless the cancellation is due to an emergency or ill health).
