K&C Together: Community Involvement

What is the K&C Together Programme (K&CT)?
K&CT aims to nurture a local voluntary and community sector that designs and delivers services with and for local communities. It supports charities, social enterprises and community organisations to operate in a representative, inclusive and participatory manner.

Are representation and inclusion on your organisation’s agenda?
Organisations can access free, expert support, advice, training and resources to develop action plans and become more representative, inclusive and community-led. Develop skills, policies and/or practices around inclusion, community involvement, equity and power-sharing.

Join the K&C Together Programme to...

  • Get judgement-free support and training
  • Identify your priorities and develop achievable action plans
  • Unlock the potential of your beneficiaries and community members
