Community Development

This component of the Project's work covers projects which address social needs, develop a sense of community awareness, and enable people to act together in order to support themselves and their wider community.

As shown above, addressing these various needs in an integrated way is far more effective than in isolation.  The programmes in this component of the work also address many of the non-physical needs of those living in the Project area - which demonstrates the 'holistic' approach of the Project's work.
