Starting a community group is exciting — but many groups struggle in their first year. One of the biggest mistakes? Not having a clear purpose.
If your group can’t answer these three questions clearly, things quickly become confusing:
• What problem are we solving?
• Who are we helping?
• What activities will we run?
A simple mission statement can make meetings easier, attract volunteers, and help with funding applications.
If you're starting a community group and want help getting the foundations right, I help groups set up properly from the start.
