We would like to thank East Brighton New Deal for Communities for producing and sharing this pack. Although it contains a lot of information specific to Brighton and Hove, the pack will be of interest to anyone working with a community group that wants to make its organisation and activities open to a wider range of people. The pack is NOT intended to be read cover-to-cover; it is a reference pack to dip into for the information you need.
