DTAS' CONSULTANCY SERVICE: THE POOL IN SCOTLAND
The Pool - what is it?
The Pool is DTA Scotland's new practitioner consultancy service, a collaboration between DTAS and its member trusts. It draws on the unique and very valuable asset that lies within our members, staff and wider contacts - a wealth of grassroots expertise and knowledge of community regeneration, asset development and cultivating local enterprise. It will further our aims and objectives and generate income for DTAS and member trusts.
What will the Pool do?
A wide range of consultancy work related to development trusts, community assets and community regeneration. In England, the Pool, launched by our sister organisation the DTA, has been successful over the past 12 months in winning contracts and grants for a wide range of work (www.thepooldta.co.uk). We will be aiming to develop a similar broad range of work in Scotland including:
- preparation, appraisal, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of community enterprise and assets projects and programmes
- collective intelligence report - a self-contained 'reality-check/critical friend' service offering a collective expert opinion on either practical or policy proposals
- an independent mentoring support service for senior staff in public, voluntary and social enterprise organisations within the neighbourhoods sector.
- training and seminars.
If you have a project which you would like the Pool to undertake or bid for please contact Toby Johns, DTAS' Head of Consultancy, at toby@dtascot.org.uk.
How do I get involved in the Pool?
If you work for a development trust as either a volunteer or a member of staff and interested in becoming a member of the Pool of consultants please let Toby Johns know and he will let you have more details of what that entails, the application process and so on. You can e-mail Toby at toby@dtascot.org.uk
