We build networks that overcome barriers to participation.
We were established in 1994, as a membership based community development network, to build the capacity of the community sector in our city, Derry, and the region.
Our Approach
Our approach focuses on equitable relationships, reflective practice, and shared ownership.
-
We try to practice what we preach, by working equitably with partners and people with lived experience.
-
We try to challenging our assumptions and biases, because communities keep changing; so should community workers.
-
We're opposed to extractive practices that treat the community like a source of data or credibility, without ownership.
