Starting Up a Group

Durham Community Action provides information, advice and guidance for anyone looking to set up a new community group or charity. We can support you as you decide:

• Why you are setting up your group
• What your group will be doing
• If your group is charitable or not for profit
• What legal structure is best for you
• How many committee members/trustees you will need
• What to include in your governing document
• If you need to register with the Charity Commission

Once your group is up and running Durham Community Action can also support you as you grow and develop

We also offer Funding Advice and Support and Training Opportunities through our community development workshops and bespoke courses.
