Setting up a new organisation can be daunting. We're here to help you take the practical steps needed to get your group get established.

Questions to ask yourself:

• What community needs will this group aim to meet?
• How do you think your group will achieve this?
• Are you sure no other existing local group already does this?
• Who else is working with you to develop your idea?
• What resources will you need?
• Who will be the members of the group?
• Where will you meet?

You might have been encouraged "to constitute" but maybe you aren't sure what legal structure to adopt, and where to start with this: we can advise and guide you in the choices. Or you might already know that you want to set up a charity, or maybe you're looking at setting up a social enterprise - but you might not be sure of your next move.
