Manhood Peninsula Community Interest Company

manhood peninsula community interest company

London

We were formed to carry on activities which benefit the community and, in particular, further the social, health, economic and environmental interests of the residents of the Manhood Peninsula in West Sussex by: - Acquiring and managing land and other assets; Providing support to disadvantaged groups to enable them to overcome the obstacles they face; Supporting, facilitating and delivering projects and activities; Establishing arrangements to ensure our profits are used for their benefit. Feel free to check our company registration. When we registered, Companies House asked us to identify our main areas of business activity: - 68209 - Other letting and operating of own or leased real estate; 82990 - Other business support service activities not elsewhere classified; 85600 - Educational support services; 90040 - Operation of arts facilities Perhaps the best way to understand what we do, is to think of us as a charitable 'gap-plugger.' We provide small groups with the individualised support, assistance and / or expertise they need but do not have amongst their volunteers and cannot afford to 'buy in.' An example of this is acting as a banker by holding monies in trust and paying suppliers direct on the group's behalf when asked to do so. This simplifies the administrative burden greatly for groups and gives them more time to focus on what they set out to do. We also provide Governance advice so groups can get less bogged down in red tape. Digital services are also an area we help with, providing advice on how groups can promote themselves, and help them do so if they wish. Some of the groups we work with feature on this site. You will see some groups are publicised on this website - if that might be of help to you get in touch. We operate in a supportive way by only helping if (and when) asked. The groups we help effectively sub-contract us in., which allows them to stay in control, use or not use us as they see fit and most importantly, maintain their independence. Click here to email us
