Community Ventures has the interests of the whole community at heart and we aim to provide ground breaking and inspiring community development services. Here at Community Ventures we specialise in working in partnerships and community engagement. We have a track record of hosting, developing and delivering pioneering services tailored to meet the needs of communities, statutory organisations and business. We apply our evidence-based approaches that focus on the strengths, skills and assets that lie within our neighbourhoods. With our guidance, approaches and experiences we can help you to create the conditions needed to reduce health inequalities and to transform disadvantaged communities into neighbourhoods that can venture into brighter futures. We are a team of community development workers who are passionate about supporting people to make a big difference where they live, work and grow. What we do We always apply asset-based approaches to community development, we focus on what our communities have at their disposal rather than what they don’t have. We then use our methods, and practices to enable local communities to develop from within. We use asset mapping exercises, such as community walkabouts, creative participatory consultation, conversations with local residents & service providers to understand what:- Voluntary, community and social enterprises are working locally. Facilities and services are available to the community. Activities and projects are being delivered in the area.

Our objective when supporting communities is to always guide local residents, groups and organisations towards the development of sustainable community projects, interventions and services.
