Building Community Together is a five-year community project. The long term objective of the project is to have an informed and resourced neighbourhood that is cohesive, empowered and owned by an enabled & thriving community.
The project will:
- • Build on existing locally embedded provision.
- • Increase and sustain the collaboration of partners who are operating locally
- • Provide activities accessible to the community in response to their feedback.
The Building Community Together project was developed from what we felt the needs were within the community to:
Reduce social isolation
Encourage health and wellbeing
Increase resident involvement and leadership
Promote and encourage community spirit and cohesion across the generations
Connect residents from different communities through the offer of positive activities that encourage participation.
Encourage and strengthen community links and identity, through celebration
Develop a project steering group with residents that will promote the model of residents working for residents
We want to create a healthy, engaged and empowered community, working with residents across a broad spectrum of activities (sport, early years, green spaces, community events).
