Active Community
Our vision of an active community is of strong, active and empowered groups and individuals increasingly capable of doing things for themselves.
Part of this is to ensure that the key issues identified by people in Neath East are integrated into actions the community is engaged in to bring improvements.
The Melincryddan Community Conference and Neath East Communities First Partnership have employed a number of consultation methods to discover the needs of community members these include: Using Existing Data, Questionnaires, Community Forums, Community Mapping, Focus Groups and Public Meetings. The results from all the consultation exercises carried out in Neath East have been analysed and the data triangulated to decide on actions for improvement.
Some projects have been or are being delivered others will be included in the Neath East Communities First Action Plan.
Activities engaged in to help member of the community in Neath East to be confident and active include:
- Welfare rights worker
