For Community Groups operating in more than one Council Area.
When you register as a Community Group on the Community Benefits Hub, you will be asked to select which local council area you operate in from a list of participating councils.
For now, each individual Community Group account must be linked to only one council. This allows us to manage and monitor Community Groups and Requests on the system, and to ensure that community benefits are delivered in such a way that maximises their benefit locally.
If you operate in more than one council area, for example, you may have multiple locations that fall in different council areas, or you may operate in such a way that benefits are delivered Region-wide, you will need to create and manage a different Community Group account in each council area that you operate.
For example, you will need to create a different account for: Your Group East Renfrewshire, Your Group Glasgow, Your Group North Lanarkshire, and Your Group South Lanarkshire.
In order to do this:
- You will need to submit / create a different user account for each council area in which you operate – meaning that you will need a different email address for each ‘branch’ of your Group.
- Please make sure to add the council area that you are registering for into the Community Group name when registering. For example, Group Name East Renfrewshire instead of just Group Name.
