Community Assets Matter
Promoting Effective Asset Management

The programme is being delivered through a series of training events in each English region, aimed at local infrastructure organisations, development workers, funding advisors and Community Anchors. This is a two year national programme in 2009-2011, accompanied by a handbook that addresses the diversity of legal and technical aspects of managing community buildings and other community assets.
The courses are for two days and there is a nominal charge of £25 per participant. Participants in the training programme will each receive a copy of the handbook.
