Plymouth Improving Reach
Plymouth Guild Volunteer Centre and Fata He have begun an exciting three year programme to engage and support volunteers and employees of Black, Minority, Ethnic and Faith groups to inspire them to become Community Development workers.
This new project also intends to support and provide assistance to other organizations.
The programme also involves a number of initiatives to increase the voluntary sector and infrastructure support within Plymouth, by creating a directory of BME and Faith groups, running events and researching the needs of the sector. Plymouth Improving Reach is funded and supported through Capacity Builders. The project is funded from June 2009 –March 2011
The aim of the three year project is:
- To train Community Development workers to achieve a Nationally recognized qualification and offer employment mentoring and support.
- To offer and give support to small community and nascent organizations and projects from BME and Faith groups by helping to develop their workers.
- To undertake research in order to identify the needs of groups, create a directory and run events.
