Support for Charities & Community Groups

Imago offers information, advice and development opportunities in a wide range of areas

Thanks to funding from KCC via the Kent Community Foundation we are able to offer support to community groups and charities operating in the Kent Districts of Sevenoaks, Tonbridge & Malling, Maidstone, Tunbridge Wells, Ashford and Folkestone & Hythe. 

   

Our support includes:

Bi-monthly networking sessions

These are open to any local VCSE operating in the district. The agenda and topics of these networking sessions will be driven by those taking part. They provide opportunities to share ideas and opportunities. Establish links and build relationships with other local organisations. Access support from the Imago team.

Key discussion points and outcomes of each networking session will be recorded and disseminated to those unable to attend.

Dates of these in person sessions are:

2024

Direct Support to Individual VCSEs

Those operating in the districts outlined above can request support designed to meet their immediate needs and help their longer-term sustainability through tailored information, advice, guidance and training. 

The support will be driven by the specific needs of the VCSEs. Support requested has included charity set up, training and collaboration. 

   

Training Sessions

Specific topics and issues may emerge from the networking sessions and tailored support. Training can be arranged accordingly. These sessions have covered DBS, pro bono support, gifts in kind and sources of support.
