Capacity Builder took the name and was funded by the the non-departmental public body which has till recently offered support to the voluntary sector. The project had the aim to support front-line Refugee and Migrant Community Organisations to access high quality generalist capacity building support through: one to one sessions, training, partnership development, information and advice and through harnessing and developing links with a range of mainstream organisations. Areas of capacity building we worked included:
- Policy development
- Project planning
- Volunteer management
- Fundraising
- Equality and diversity issues
- Joint working initiatives, with other RMCO’s and mainstream organisations
- Making links with local decision makers
