Community Spaces Programme
The Client
The Groundwork UK
The Background
Community Spaces is a £50m national programme to enhance quality of life through neighbourhood green and open spaces.
The programme is designed to build the capacity of local communities through enhancing green spaces and local facilities and CFP have been heavily involved.
The Objective
Working closely with Groundwork UK, we have contributed to the programme through recruitment, selection and training of facilitators, organising communication and networking events, writing programme materials and constructing a resource directory for facilitators.
Adrian and Mike are also Community Spaces Facilitators and this gives us an insight into the programme at all levels.
Just add CFP
Our knowledge not only of green spaces but also of the community and voluntary sectors has meant we were the ideal team to work on this programme.
The Result
Our initial work was so well received that we have been asked to contribute to the design of the application process for the large and flagship aspects of the programme. As Facilitators, Adrian and Mike have worked on over 25 projects and also contributed to the technical assessment process on a further 40 Stage applications.
