    Community Dynamics

    •It is the process of change


    and development in
    communities.
    Community Action
    • Is any activity that increases the
    understanding, engagement and
    empowerment of communities in
    the design and delivery of local
    services.
    • Community action includes a broad range of
    activities and is sometimes described as
    ‘social action' or ‘community engagement'.
    These activities can vary in their objective,
    the role the community plays, the types of
    activities involved, their scale and their
    integration within the council. What they
    have in common is that they all involve
    greater engagement of local citizens in the
    planning, design and delivery of local
    services.
    Why is community action important?

    • Community action is about putting


    communities at the heart of their
    own local services. Involving
    communities in the design and
    delivery of services can help to
    achieve a number of objectives
    including:
    Building community and social
    capacity
    Community resilience
    Prevention
    Maintaining and creating wealth
    Building community and
    social capacity

    share knowledge, skills
    and ideas.
    Community Resilience

    • Helping the community to


    support itself.
    Prevention
    • A focus on early access to
    services or support,
    engagement in design, cross
    sector collaboration and
    partnerships.
    Maintaining & Creating
    Wealth
    •Helping people into
    employment or
    developing community
    enterprises.
    Role of the Community
    The role the community plays can include community consultation,
    joint planning, joint design, joint delivery and community-led
    activities.
    The types of activity can include:
    -Asset transfer (either through formal transfer to bodies such as
    parish councils or community interest companies, or transfer of
    their management to local community and voluntary groups).
    -Making better use of physical resources, such as council-owned
    buildings, to support community-led activities.
    -Community engagement in decision-making (for example through
    public engagement events where the community helps to decide
    local priorities, co-design or co-commission services).
    -Community networks
    -Community grants
