Supporting Groups
All Voluntary Action Merthyr Tydfil’s development services are free to members. If you are a member of an existing voluntary, community or charitable group or are looking to set up a new group, do you know where you can go for help, support and advice?
As part of the service VAMT can assist you in changing your organisations legal status, developing a constitution, registering as a charity or company, developing policies, financial procedures, equal opportunities, child protection, funding, ICT and training.
Funding Support and Advice
Funding is essential to any voluntary group – VAMT offers its members a comprehensive funding advice service. Members can benefit from information, support and advice on a whole range of funding issues; anything from application forms, monitoring and evaluating to relevant training.
VAMT can assist your organisation with funding strategies and completing application forms to ensure the continuation of the Voluntary Sector in Merthyr Tydfil.

Training
VAMT aim to offer opportunities for organisations to gain knowledge, skills and information they need to run effectively. This can range from formally organized training courses to informal one-to-one sessions. VAMT aim to work with local providers of training to develop courses tailored specifically to the needs of the local voluntary sector.
VAMT Development staff can provide informal training to your group or management committee in general areas, such as committee skills, registering as a charity, or reviewing your legal status.
If your organisation has a specific training need why not give us a call to find out if we can help, or take a quick look at our Training Page.
