OUR KEY SECTORS

Community Development

We bring many years’ experience supporting local communities and delivering community development solutions that have addressed local challenges and opportunities and supported the development of stronger, more vibrant and healthier communities. This includes delivering community development programmes for local authorities and working directly with community organisations and groups to support deprived rural mining communities, outer urban housing estates, town centre communities and latterly, community groups with specific issues relating to health and social well-being.

​

As Change Catalysts, we seek to empower and enable community organisations and groups to:

​

  • Find out what is important to people in their community;

​

  • Take positive action to find the best solution to things that matter to them;

​

  • Find the funding to make it happen;

​

  • Build relationships and a collaborative approach with key decision makers in the public and private sector;

​

  • Put their own solutions in to practice.

Recent Areas of Focus

​

An emerging area of work for us is supporting community groups deliver their own projects within the health and social care sectors. There is significant unmet demand from individual parents and community groups who are looking for guidance and support to help them find solutions to things that matter to them in relation to the provision of health and social care services. Recent areas of activity supporting community groups with health and social care issues include:

​

  • Providing project management support to enable individuals and groups to work more effectively together, build a case for action to address a common issue or concern, take positive action to identify a solution and then enable them to put their own solution into practice.

​

  • Facilitating new models of collaborative working between parent groups, local authorities, the NHS and private service providers.

​

  • Increasing choice and strengthening the influence of parents and service-users on market development and service delivery within the health and social care sectors that would otherwise be out of the reach of individual service users on their own.

​

  • Promoting innovation in the design, funding and delivery of services and support in the health and social care sector.

​

  • Helping stimulate the development of the health and social care market and encouraging the entry of new providers into the market place.
