Empowering Communities

Empowering Communities

This programme will use a community development approach to address social exclusion and the impacts of poverty and disadvantage in very specific target areas. It will focus on supporting communities to building leadership within that community, support and enhance collaboration between existing community structures to develop and help implement tailored community work responses to the specific challenges faced locally. Its aim is to empower local communities to tackle area-based disadvantage and social exclusion. True community development must always be about allowing communities to decide what’s best for them.
