About the project

Aim

The aim of the project is to enable and support local people to take action to improve health and wellbeing within their community. (The 'community' will be a place, defined by local people themselves.)

A different way of working

This project turns the usual way of working on its head, rather than focusing on needs we will be focusing on the skills, knowledge, connections and potential in communities.

May-June 2012

In order to take part in project, 3 or more people from a community must participate in a full day training session on Saturday 7 May.

The training will introduce asset based ways of working, including asset mapping. At the end of this session they will be allocated a budget to carry out asset mapping in their community, and will have until  the end of June to do this.

At the end of June all of the mapping outcomes will be considered by the individuals who did the training. They will collectively agree on one community to take forward health improvement activity supported by a budget of around £50,000 and staff from Dudley CVS and Dudley Public Health Department.

You can book places for the training here.

You can read more about asset approaches to health and wellbeing in a publications called A glass half full

Organizer

Our Society in Dudley Borough

Our Society in Dudley Borough is about changing relationships between our voluntary, community and faith sector, and the local public sector. It is our local response to the government’s Big Society, localism and decentralisation agendas, all of which are taking place when challenges are presented by reducing budgets.  

Through Our Society in Dudley Borough we want to work towards an agreement about how and to what degree the relationship will change. Different organisations will have their own expectations of how new national policy and challenges facing us will effect local delivery.

We are also offering support to Community First panels in Dudley - see www.dudleycommunityfirst.posterous.com
