It provides practical guidance on:

How to run an effective Compact event
Action planning, monitoring and evaluating your local Compact

The guide is available in individual sections covering the above topics or can be downloaded as a complete guide. 

If you would like a printed copy of the Guide, please contact us – these are available free of charge to voluntary and community organisations (a fee of £5 per copy applies to bulk orders). The guide is available as individual sections within a folder. 

If you would like the guide in a different format (large text or word document for use with screen readers), please contact us.
