What sources of support are available during the CAT process?
St Helens Borough Council recognises that CAT can be a daunting challenge for many organisations. To ensure the process is open, equal, and transparent, we are working alongside Halton & St Helens Voluntary and Community Action (VCA) who can offer advice and assistance to groups thinking of applying to the council for a community asset transfer.
Halton & St Helens VCA is an infrastructure organisation that provides advice, information, and development support services to voluntary, community, not-for-profit and faith organisations and volunteers in the boroughs of St Helens and Halton.
They can be contacted on info@haltonsthelensvca.org.uk
National organisations such as Locality, Power to Change and Ethical Property Foundation can also provide bespoke, independent advice.
