Asset-Based Community Development Workshop – Oldbury

If you’re passionate about helping to develop your local community, pop in to one of the upcoming Asset-Based Community Development meetings hosted by Sandwell Council and Sandwell Churches Link. A series of friendly, practical workshops have been organised across the borough to introduce the idea of Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) – a local, ‘grass roots’ approach to strengthening communities.

Through a process of recognising, identifying and harnessing existing ‘assets’ that individuals and communities have – things like skills, knowledge, capacity, resources, experience or enthusiasm for example – ABCD aims to help strengthen and improve things locally.

Instead of looking at what a community needs or lacks, the approach focuses on best using the ‘assets’ that are already there.

The workshops are a chance to learn more about ABCD, and network and chat about what it would look like to work together in your area. Representatives from any sector are welcome.
