ProHelp Community - getting support

Access to a range of professional expertise:  ProHelp members include solicitors, accountants, surveyors, architects, public relations, marketing and management consultants who undertake one-off projects.  Each ProHelp group is a local network of professional firms who often work collaboratively on larger projects.

A professional service:  community organisations receive the same level of service as a fee-paying client - the only difference is that the community client is not charged for the work undertaken.

An experienced broker:  who will process your application for support and help match you with a professional firm member of ProHelp.

Advice surgeries: ProHelp also runs general advice surgeries and workshops on specific topics impacting on local community groups.

Each ProHelp group is a local network of professional firms, each is supported by a manager who acts as a 'broker' and matches the needs of the community organisation with the professional firm who has offered their support.  There is an application process and also criteria that need to be met to be eligible for support.

We know that it's sometimes difficult to pinpoint exactly what type of professional support your project needs.  'Identifying Your Need' provides some helpful information.

Your community organisation will need to meet certain criteria to be eligible for support.  Please read the 'Apply for Support' section before making an application to your local ProHelp group.

Once you have confirmed you meet the criteria to be eligible for support and have read the 'Apply for Support' section, follow the link to select your region and fill out an application with your local ProHelp group.
