Information to help your group run well
Information sheets on setting up a group
Click on the name of the information sheet you are interested in to view it.
All our own sheets are available as standard web pages (HTML format). If you intend to print out the sheets, you may prefer to use the PDF or Word versions offered as an alternative. You will need the Adobe Acrobat reader to use the PDF versions. If you have trouble using the online versions, please let us know. We can send you a paper version, text only on disk, large print, or whatever format suits you best.
If you are setting up a new group, you may also find useful support from other support organisations in Brighton & Hove. Full details of the range of support available can be found at the Support for Groups website, a joint initiative by all the organisations, working together as Brighton & Hove ChangeUp Consortium.
