Community Development

Sylfaen offer to hold training sessions with people from the private, public, and voluntary sectors.

Introduction to Community Development

At the end of the session, the group will be able to:

• relate the history of community development in Wales and the UK;
  
• explain the purpose of community development and its underpinning values;
  
• describe the community development process;
  
• discuss the issues that arise and identify potential solutions.

Sylfaen has delivered this session to many community groups throughout the North West and with agencies, the most recent being BIG Lottery staff in Newtown, Powys.

Here are the reactions of our participants:

“All of it was useful, particularly the case studies and the session on community development.”

“I really enjoyed the history of community development and how this has changed over time.
