Support | Voluntary Action Orkney

We know that when running a group or organisation, you may have questions and require advice. We can guide you through what you need to do in a informed and practical way, giving you the support, confidence and security that you have covered everything.

Establishing a new group

Setting up a new group or organisation is a bit like setting up a business.

Crisis management

At some point, things might go wrong. We believe that knowing what to do and how to deal with it, is what counts... that and knowing where to go for help.

Governance

Governance is the system of rules, processes, and structures that guide how an organisation is run.

Funding and fundraising

Almost all charity organisations and community groups are looking for funding.

Winding up a charity

There are lots of different reasons why a group or organisation might choose to close down and just like when you are setting up, there are decisions to make and steps to follow.

I need volunteers

Volunteers are part of the community. They bring with them skills, experience and knowledge and often ideas that can help your group or organisation adapt and grow.
