One person commented "After I started a local blacksmithing workshop I needed to locate local suppliers and get my business seen by those in the area. I looked at the South wiltshire community web and found I was able to discover contacts at the local government office about funding and that the community websites contained masses on local community information. I found this to be extremely useful when attempting to arrange events locally, this gave me instant access to a directory of local businesses to approach. A bit of exploratory marketing never does a business any harm, even approaching local electrical contractors was useful allowing me to be at the fore front of their mind if they heard of anyone needing work."

If you are an event organiser attempting to source revenue for regional charities there are one or two fantastic resources on the web on hand to help you raise funds in an exciting way, whether its for a church, school, charity or youth organisation. Community websites are sometimes a good place to begin, be it solely for neighbourhood information or to get to the local government website.
