Development and Inclusion Work
My role is to support groups in the community by providing advice and information to them. This includes information on:
- how to get started
- how to plan future work and record success.
- where to get money for activities
- who else you can work with
- recruiting new members/volunteers
- relevant training.
- new development opportunities.
Some of the groups we have helped include a community football team; Salsa dance class; community play and family projects; a women’s group; and as a range of residents and other community led agencies.
We also need to work in partnership with people in other organisations so that we can provide maximum benefits to local residents. In recent months we have worked alongside the Primary care Trust in Salford to bring funding into an innovative project run by a local group.
Similarly, we are building on good relationships with local developers and social housing providers to deliver joint projects that benefit local people, e.g. community based sports and other positive opportunities for young people and children.
