Following the publication of the £42.5 million action plan 'Real Help for Communities: Volunteers, Charities and Social Enterprises', the Office of the Third Sector is holding 9 free regional roadshows for small and medium frontline third sector organisations to provide a practical understanding of how to access the support available. The schemes included are the Real Help for Communities: Modernisation Fund, Real Help for Communities: Targeted Support Fund and Communitybuilders programme.
