As part of Community Action Portsmouth (CAP), we supported the Guinea Community of Portsmouth (GCP), which was set up in January 2013.
It aimed to support people originating from Guinea (West Africa), particularly women, children and families in the city of Portsmouth and surrounding districts in order to promote the education, social development and well-being of the members of the Guinea community.
CAP supported GCP with:
Setting up all the paper work for the community including: the constitution; bank account; funding application
The place and address where all our meetings take place
Networking and training
As a result GCP were able to:
- Help the community to have somewhere to meet, socialise and support the people in need
- Raise over £9000 funding for a 12 month project
- Connect with other communities and organisation
