Please complete this form to be included in the Forest Compass booklet for support groups, community activities, clubs and services across the Forest of Dean. We are planning to print this booklet in March 2023.
The purpose of this booklet is to provide a comprehensive list of clubs, lunch clubs, specialist support groups and activity groups and locally accessible services so that local people know what exists in their area.
In order to qualify for a free listing in this booklet your club, group or activity needs to be a 'Not for Profit' group, Charity or CIC / CIO and run by volunteers or funded staff and therefore either free to attend or very low cost. It is difficult to put a figure on this as each group is different, but as a rough guide we are looking at groups that charge less than £3.50 an hour /session without a meal provided. We will also consider including listings from businesses where there is a good case that it provides a much needed, local service to make certain essentials accessible to people close to where they live, e.g. a mobile barbers van. This will be considered on a case-by-case basis.
If you have several clubs in different locations or with a different focus please complete a new form for each one. If the same club runs on several days i.e. a lunch club, on Tuesdays and Thursdays - just complete one form with both days listed.
If you have one service that operates identically in many locations across the Forest of Dean, it may be that you can just fill the form in once. If this is the case, please contact us on volunteer@fvaf.org.uk or telephone 01594 822073 to discuss the easiest way for you to submit your information.
Please tell us below the email address to be used for correspondence about your listing (there will be space later on to tell us the email address that you wish to be printed in the guide).
