How does BIC work in reality?
Together for Regeneration (TfR), South Yorkshire Funding Advice Bureau (SYFAB) and Voluntary Action Barnsley (VAB) often work closely together to support groups in Barnsley. Advice surgeries and events take place frequently between the three organisations which allows groups to receive a holistic approach when seeking support.
An example of a group being supported is an allotment for adults with learning difficulties called 'Fit to Dig'. The group is part of BMBC's Social Services department and managed by Amanda West, a Senior Learning Development Officer.
