Our aim is to cover every aspect of running and developing community facilities. If we don’t know the answer we will offer signposting to the people who do.
Helping rural communities respond to the cost of living crisis. Community First has set up a Community Bulk Buying scheme aimed at saving money on heating your home, office, school or village hall. Our oil buying scheme offers people and businesses the chance to come together to negotiate lower prices for their fuel. Communities making the most of joint buying power can make significant savings.
Is your building fit for purpose, your management arrangements robust and your documentation up to scratch? Find out from us through a friendly visit from us and a report based on your questions and our findings. The idea grew out of us carrying out simple energy efficiency audits for halls wishing to cut their energy bills and find funding sources for new kit.
Community First offers a wide range of specialist information, advice and support to voluntary organisations and to people wanting to benefit their local community - from self-help groups to social and community enterprises. If you need help, support or signposting, gives us a call to see how we can help.
We are helping village halls tackle loneliness and create dementia friendly halls. We are working with delivery providers such as Age UK, Worcestershire Carers and the Alzheimers Society to share information, ideas and expertise.
As delivery partners in both the Marches and Worcestershire Community Led Housing Hubs, we are supporting rural communities to develop the housing they need for the future.
