Toolkits
Sunderland Centre for Voluntary Service have produced two toolkits as an aid for voluntary and community groups to find in one place, sources of useful information which will help them to understand, access and hopefully implement good practice in respect of some of the key areas of development.
There is a large range of resources available, via the internet, but we recognise that this presumes that groups and organisations such as yours have the access to the internet, the time to search for items and the time to follow up. By doing the ‘surfing’ for you we hope to make this process easier, and perhaps, it will draw your attention to some resources or aspects of the role of ICT in sustainable development of your organisation which you would not otherwise have known about or would not consider.
The toolkits are avaiable to download below:
