Whether it is setting up, running or funding your organisation, we can provide free advice to community groups and organisations based in Edinburgh. Don’t worry if you’re not an organisation yet, we can still help. For everything else, we can point you in the right direction. For more detail on the support we offer, you can go here. If in doubt, just ask and we will help as best we can. 

If you are not based in Edinburgh, you can get help from the Third Sector Interface in your area. You can find yours here.
