Dear All


I am trying to find directories of local community groups. I have tried the local Council for Voluntary Services and the Charity Commision but the people I am trying to contact are too small to be a member of either. Web searches aren't really relevant either.

With no common thread linking these groups together can anyone suggest an alternative strategy for finding them?

Thanks

Andy Goodwin
