Using us to work with your community is a good idea - we have over 100 years' joint experience in working with people and communities, in rural and urban areas across all parts of England and Wales and abroad.

We focus on working WITH communities using tried and tested participatory techniques in a wide range of settings, and adapting them to a wide range of situations. We have extensive experience of community and organisational facilitation and support.

As a result of our experience of working at field and strategic levels, we can offer realistic and practical approaches, which focus on making that fundamental connection with communities and groups within them.

This is what we do on a regular basis:

• Community consultation and facilitation
• Social inclusion & minority issues
• Community development projects
• Forum development and management
• Effective stakeholder management
• Organisational support in developing partnerships
• Training in a wide variety of techniques 
• Project monitoring and evaluation

The variety of our work to date - with charities, local government and private organisations; at local, regional, national and international levels - has given us unique cross-sector insights. Using this experience we are constantly leading new innovation across the sector boundaries.
