Finsbury Park Community Hub, Holloway Neighbourhood Group, Manor Gardens Welfare Trust Category: Sub-category: Priority: Approx cost: Funds secured: £0 Community facilities Community support funding 1 - High £35,000 The outward image of the three bidding organisations does not reflect the breadth of services offered nor adequately show their impact in the community. The three organizations need to develop a PR and Communications Strategy to properly position them and increase success of fundraising activities. A professionally managed communications strategy increases the chances of attracting funding in an increasingly competitive environment. It is in the interest of the WP and LBI that the largest members of the ward partnership succeed in their efforts to attract funding, thus releasing the pressure for funding and allowing more funds to flow to smaller organisations. 24 June 2013 Page 77
