Community Development in the North East
On 30 January there was a conference at the Old Assembly Rooms Newcastle to explore the next steps in creating a new regional infrastructure for community development based on what has gone on before and the feedback received in the various workshops. We recognise Community Development covers a wide variety of activity taking place in a very diverse range of settings, frequently very localised with groups that feel marginalised. Throughout this process we have been emphasising the Values and Roles outlined in the National Occupational Standards for Community Development as the basis for the activity we are generally talking about.
If you would like to play a role in helping the proposed Network to get established please consider joing the task group that came out of the conference, by contacting:
