What is PTAS?
PTAS is a free service for the voluntary sector in Birmingham and the West Midlands providing:
- Information, Advice & Support
- Register of Approved Consultants
- Help with Funding
- Links with other support organisations
Need help and expertise to develop community services and facilities?
We can put you in touch with an experienced consultant who is used to working with voluntary and community organisations.
We have a database of consultants offering a range of skills and expertise – everything from architects, planners, community development consultants, funding specialists, trainers, etc.
Our consultants reflect the diversity of the local community.
Match-making service
We provide a match making service between organisations and consultants. This is currently free for the smaller voluntary and community organisations in the West Midlands. We can supply a short list of consultants to suit the needs of your organisation.
Advice and further information
We can advise you on how to obtain the funding to help you to pay for the consultant’s expertise or we can suggest other organisations which provide some expertise for free.
