Stage Four - Implementation

Once you've had the green light from funders the project can get underway. Make sure everyone knows about your success and that they are kept informed of progress.

It is important to agree on who will lead the project i.e. a project manager. This doesn't have to be a person employed to do it but a person who will ensure the project is implemented according to the plan and remains on track. This person could also be the main contact for the funders and supporters of the project.

You will need to ask the following:

• Do you have the skills needed to communicate the project to others at every level?
• What information needs to be communicated to whom at the beginning of the project, during it and on completion of it?
• How will you communicate this information to others that need to know outside of the group?

It is always a good idea to involve the community - think of holding a launch party or distributing a newsletter - or some new and imaginative way of getting attention. Keeping people involved/informed is also very important, especially the funders. This can help the success of the project as people remain on board and have a sense of ownership of the project so they will do their best to help in anyway they can.
