Community Projects Library

Moseley Community Development Trust has put together a reference library for local people working as volunteers for community projects and charities.

It is a pilot scheme and we wait to receive comments from people who have used it, to help us improve it. We are happy to welcome visitors who want to use the collection during the week. It will be available Monday to Thursday 10:00am - 4:00pm from the 2nd July 2007. Anybody interested in using this resource to help their community project should contact the CDT Centre Manager Matt Colleran on 449 8585 or e-mail to arrange a time to visit.

The small library contains books, journals and pamphlets on a range of topics, including:

• all aspects of volunteering
• information about various local community groups based in Moseley and Kings Heath, and what they do
• information about how set up your own local group or how to expand or formalise an existing group
• how to attract funding and/or other support
• information on other volunteer and community organisations in Birmingham and the West Midlands, and the benefits to local groups of working with these other organisations
• general information on community and voluntary activities, for example -
  • re-generation and social audit
  • health and well-being
  • living with a disability
  • training and employment
  • family issues
  • children and young people
  • sustainability, recycling and improving the local environment
  • faith communities, ethnic communities, and art in the community

We look forward to helping you
