Networks

Join a network or start your own

POP started out wanting to play a central role leading networks, but it quickly became obvious this would not be practically possible with our small team, nor would it help recognise networks independent of POP.  As well as facilitating some networks we support through the Network Facilitators Forum. 

Network Facilitators Forum

Resources for network building

This forum connects across the networks of Plymouth. It is for anyone who is interested in improving your network. You might be interested in expanding your reach and membership, sharing the burden of organising, how you organise your network to be a positive experience or how you best communicate. 

Bringing people with these common issues together is a great chance to learn from one another and share information and news. The Network Facilitators Forum will:

  • Create connections between networks
  • Support skills development between network facilitators around network development 

POP network admin grants: We have £20k to make grants to more formal networks to connect, grow and act. We use the Network Facilitators Forum to make decisions about this funding.

Rewilding Network

Across Plymouth individuals, community groups and organisations are taking action to support biodiversity by rewilding grass verges, creating new habitats, planting trees, inspiring connection with nature and much more! As part of Green Minds we’d like to share, promote and support this action and build a bigger Plymouth Rewilding Network – for people and wildlife.

Neighbourhood Networks

Neighbourhood Networks are a brilliant way for local groups and organisations to be able to know and contact one another. By knowing one another, it helps each group better support local people or connect with the community. It can also help with giving advice around how to best do the work – like funding or managing volunteers.
