@ Local Community Fund

The Local Community Fund was established in February 2003 with the aim of developing greater community capacity and leadership in local areas suffering high levels of disadvantage where community infrastructure is weak. The establishment of the Fund provided local people with the opportunity and funding to become involved in identifying and addressing issues and priorities that have the potential to make a noticeable difference in their local areas.

Five specific objectives for the Fund are as follows:

1. to develop community capacity and leadership
2. to promote partnership working, within and between communities
3. to help communities improve their local environments
4. to develop intervention programmes with young people; and
5. to encourage more active participation by women in local community services
