• examples: 'dance', 'dancing', 'dance classes', 'dance halls'

Refining your search

You are able to refine your search, without using the advanced search interfaces, by following the formats included below:

• Dance class : records containing 'dance' and 'class'
• "Dance class" : records containing the phrase 'dance class'
• Dance | class : records containing 'dance' or 'class'
• Dance -class : records containing 'dance' but not 'class'

Advanced search

You are able to use a combination of the keyword search and the advanced search to refine you search. You can filter your results by selecting from the following options (please note you can use a combination of the filters together):

• Postcode : you can find organisations with the closest proximity to your address. The closest organisations will appear first in the search results.
• Category : this will allow you to search for different topics e.g. Health or Housing.
• Type : select to search for local organisations or events on the Event Calendar.
