Community action includes a broad range of activities and is sometimes

described as ‘social action' or ‘community engagement'. These activities can
vary in their objective, the role the community plays, the types of activities
involved, their scale and their integration within the council. What they have in
common is that they all involve greater engagement of local citizens in the
planning, design and delivery of local services.
Why is community action important?

Community action is about putting communities at the heart of their own local
services. Involving communities in the design and delivery of services can help
to achieve a number of objectives, including:

 Building community and social capacity – helping the community to

share knowledge, skills and ideas.
 Community resilience – helping the community to support itself.
 Prevention – a focus on early access to services or support, engagement
in design, cross-sector collaboration and partnerships.
 Maintaining and creating wealth – for example helping people into
employment or developing community enterprises.

Role of the Community

The role the community plays can include community consultation, joint
planning, joint design, joint delivery and community-led activities.

The types of activity can include:

 Asset transfer (either through formal transfer to bodies such as parish

councils or community interest companies, or transfer of their
management to local community and voluntary groups).
 Making better use of physical resources, such as council-owned
buildings, to support community-led activities.
 Community engagement in decision-making (for example through public
engagement events where the community helps to decide local priorities,
co-design or co-commission services).
 Community networks
 Community grants
