The ONE HULL Business Forum has recently launched a new Connect website which can be viewed here (www.hbfconnect.com).
This website aims to bring together business partners and the voluntary and community sector. This could be through recruiting Trustees or Board members, acting as an informal advisor for project development or advice on becoming a trading partner.
Planning Aid offers people the opportunity to get involved in the development of their local areas. We provide free and independent professional planning advice to community groups and individuals who cannot afford to pay professional fees.
We work with communities to help them understand and play a role in the planning process. We are an independent source of advice and information on planning issues, not part of central or local government.
