Setting up advice

quango77

Hi guys,
Firstly thankyou for all the info about setting up a charity in the sticky topic, its given me a good starting point. I am currently a support worker for a leeds charity , and have identified a huge gap in services in kirklees (Huddersfield/Dewsbury). I've made some good links, visited some projects for inspiration and a good amount of evidence on which to build on. However, what I could really do with is some face to face advice on how to move from an idea into reality.
Is there anyone in the West Yorkshire area who might me able to spare a little time to give me some hints and tips,
Kind regards.

Have you found your local Voluntary Service Council? They may have a different name, but google it plus Kirklees / Huddersfield / Dewsbury / West Yorks to find your.

Ian Smith may be open to meeting you and scoping out need and financial resources

Speak to Cloverleaf http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/community/localorgs/orgdetails.asp?OrgID=433

PM me, I may be able to offer some tips. My first would be that there's no money sloshing around in Kirklees and with cutbacks there will be even less.
