Community volunteering – grassroots activism or parochialism? - Richard Usher

SWF

Community volunteering provides grassroots support for local communities and organizations. It often involves volunteering at a community center to improve the local area. Maintaining motivation of volunteers and accessing training can help volunteering efforts succeed. Case studies show that sourcing funding, utilizing assets, working with partners, and engaging new groups like youth can help community organizations thrive and demonstrate their value to the local community. Community volunteering is an important part of localism and provides a foundation for initiatives while depending on ongoing grant funding.

It finds that older people want local support in their own communities, with opportunities to have input and contribute. Community activities and relationships as well as access to health and social care services are preferred over conventional approaches. These types of community-based supports improve quality of life, prevent health issues, and cost less than other models while helping resources go further.

Creating a Shared Vision for a Community, presented by Marsha Murrington, And...

craigslist_fndn

To create a vision for the future and long-term change in a community, it’s essential to have a strong, well-conceived community engagement plan and process that allows the voices within the community to be heard. Having outsiders and experts apply their values and preconceived notions of what a community needs is a recipe for failure. This session is led by three skilled change agents, with experiences working across boundaries in a variety of communities. They share their insights, stories, and approaches for bringing people of diverse backgrounds, cultures, and generations together to envision what they want their neighborhoods and communities to become, determine priorities, address problems and issues, and take greater responsibility for where they live, work, and play.

Neighbourhood Planning Support

communitylincs

Bassetlaw District Council supports 20 designated neighbourhood planning areas, with 3 neighbourhood plans adopted and 2 awaiting examination. The council encourages communities to undertake neighbourhood planning and provides support through community planning officers, producing documents, funding GIS officer time to create maps, and using consultants. Funding is available through Locality and Awards for All grants. Neighbourhood plans in Harworth & Bircotes and Elkesley have led to housing and employment allocations, regeneration, and community projects being funded through CIL money. Lessons learned include seeking early advice on undertaking a plan, focusing on key issues rather than creating a mini local plan, using available resources and guidance, and maintaining momentum.
