South Hams Community Action membership is open to Voluntary and Community Sector organisations, including social enterprises, who are based or active in the South Hams.
The benefits are applicable to volunteers and staff active within the South Hams on behalf of the supporter organisations.
Why join South Hams Community Action?
Your membership provides essential support for sustaining South Hams Community Action services in the community. It enables us to provide information, support and advice as well as deliver projects, workshops, networking events and support volunteering across South Hams. It also provides additional benefits as many of our groups will testify:
“I feel you have been worth a lot more to us than £60 in the last 12 months! Training, advice, the funding day, opportunities for networking and sharing ideas and ways of working at forums and events, collegiate support from your team, support with a local social policy issue around dementia….it really feels like SH Community Action has grown – and is growing into something really useful. You are asking and listening and putting that into action. The recent research around social isolation has also been useful for funding bids, all of which is so helpful to us as an organisation and me as a professional. Often in small charities we are doing so many tasks and delivering services and keeping our plates spinning, it is good to feel understood.”
