Your commu
We believe that focusing on what is strong
within your communities, and looking for the
positives in everybody, is the best way to
help everyone achieve more in life.
We recognise that to have strong, resilient and successful
neighbourhoods, those who live within them need to take the
lead and be in control of what’s going on.
The relationships our neighbourhood coaches are building
throughout your communities are acting as the spark that is
igniting your ideas and helping to bring them to life.
With neighbourhood coaches getting to know more of you
we’ve seen an increase in YouCan applications - and many more
community activities are now being generated by you.
We’ve seen a few examples of how you’re doing things for
yourselves and each other, these include:
•
The creation of a group in Tamworth by six parents of
children living with autism, offering help and support to
other parents and carers in the same situation.
•
An internet café set up in a local church that’s run by
members and is accessible to the whole community.
•
A club set up by new parents for new parents who felt
isolated after their children were born. Members of the club
regularly meet up for a coffee and a chat and have also
enjoyed day trips together during the school holidays.
We aim to minimise the number of anti-social behaviour (ASB)
cases going to court by talking to you and using non-legal
remedies like mediation. This resulted in just 33 ASB cases going to
court last year.
