Community organisations

Community organisations should help to empower individuals and build a better society. They should promote inclusivity, build confidence and skills and allow people to exercise greater power in their everyday lives.

Have your say

By working in partnership with other organisations, community organisations can help to maximise resources and influence strategies, making sure that everyone has a say in their community.

In order for community organisations to be successful, they require everyone to participate or give support. Volunteering your time and effort either formally or informally can make all the difference to your community.
