Our Business and Community Growth team works with a range of partners including local community groups, schools, nurseries, GPs, housing associations and businesses to support our vibrant and flourishing communities. Projects range from early years activity with pre – 5 children and their families, through to intergenerational work via the medium of arts and culture, bringing together older residents with young people.
Our interventions to increase skills and employment are helping link local people to jobs; our efforts to reduce health inequality are supporting healthy, happy residents and our contributions to a wide range of community centres, development trusts and education establishments help build capacity and lifelong learning, all of which are fundamental to achieving place based inclusive growth and are central approaches to community wealth building.
