URBAN

     Communities Pulling Together

 Urban Community Development Consortium

The Urban Community Development Consortium was a partnership project part funded by the European Commission via the Urban2 Programme managed by Action Halifax.   The consortium was made up of the following, Voluntary Action Calderdale (VAC), Action Halifax, Halifax Opportunities Trust, North Halifax Partnership, Park Community Initiative and the Ovenden & Mixenden Initiatives.

 

The project offered a range of capacity building, training, organisational development and funding support to voluntary and community groups in the Urban area of Halifax.  The project also supported volunteers by helping them find suitable placements and mentoring volunteers in their roles. Similarly, it helped groups with volunteer recruitment and volunteering practices & policies.

 

The project finished in March 2008. If you need any support/information on areas addressed by the Urban project, please contact VAC on 01422 348777.
