The role of the Community Capacity Team is to support community members and groups to play a full and meaningful role to develop their neighbourhoods, inform local service development and celebrate their achievements. They do this by building skills in the community; by encouraging full involvement; developing community organisations and the promotion of equal opportunities within organisations. For advice, support and information on developing your community organisation or to find out more about what’s happening where you live, contact Community Capacity Worker
