About this Event

Want to constitute your project, group or organisation? Unsure which structure is right for you and what's involved? This session is for you!

About the workshop
This practical workshop delivered by Medway Voluntary Action will guide you through the process of constituting and governing your group, exploring the different structural options available and what might work best for your goals.

You’ll also discover the local support available to help you get set up and support you as a newly constituted organisation. This session is a mixture of practical excercises, presentations, Q&A and discussion. The workshop is designed for emerging groups, community organisers, and anyone looking to formalise their heritage work.

About the Medway Heritage Place programme

In November 2023, The National Lottery Heritage Fund named Medway as one of 9 places who will benefit from £200 million of investment as part of their 'Heritage Places' initiative. The initiative responds to local need and opportunity, supporting places to use heritage to build pride in place, inspire local communities and power regeneration. Find out more about the Medway Heritage Place programme here.

The Medway Heritage Place programme is made possible with The National Lottery Heritage Fund. Thanks to National Lottery players, we are able to bring Medway’s stories to life in new ways for new audiences.

Other sessions
We are running a series of free skills development workshops throughout 2025 and 2026. More workshops will be announed throughout the year. Explore the full programme of Medway Heritage Place skills development sessions here.

The workshops have been developed based on topics suggested by Medway’s heritage community. If you have an idea for a workshop, please email us at [email protected].
