Case Study: Community First

Community First: Herefordshire and Worcestershire

The Herefordshire and Worcestershire Infrastructure Consortia are working to make sure that voluntary organisations and community groups can access the support and services they need to achieve their aims. They also work to increase the influence that the sector has in how public services are run.

Their Website / Extranet Project created a web portal jointly to deliver the information and services of the consortia members to their users. The project developed new websites for the core consortia members, ensured compliance with the Disability Discrimination Act and enabled staff to manage their information easily on the website using content management systems.

The project has developed an extranet (private secure website) to support the internal work by consortia members.

Community First’s Local Infrastructure Consortium Portals have 15 new websites and extracts built for partners and jointly searched by the portals.
