An older peoples group approached the service as they wanted to apply for funding but did not have a constitution or a committee running.
The community engagement officer worked with the group to write an appropriate constitution with the group to meet their needs, have an Inaugural General meeting and set up the committee. Committee skills training was delivered, and particular assistance was then given to the treasurer to standardise and manage the groups finances. Further work was carried out with the group and a number of successful funding bid have been achieved allowing the group to provide weekly activities to socially isolated older people in the Troon area.
