We are currently undertaking a series of refresher sessions with helper groups, where we meet with individual groups to hear their experiences, challenges and suggestions. This week our Chief Executive, Frances McCandless, and our Policy and Research Officer, Erin Gordon, met with Mary T Conway, Network Manager at the Omagh Forum for Rural Associations. Helper groups are organisations which have volunteered to provide practical support to charities applying for registration or submitting their annual return to the Commission. You can find a list of helper groups here:  https://lnkd.in/ePyGE8zH
