Community Board also explains some commonly found scenarios and why they should be avoided. Examples of good (and bad) practice and case studies from around the world also provide insight into the benefits and pitfalls of community / voluntary work.

In addition we will be suggesting innovative ways to combat common “social” problems in the local neighbourhood and will be inviting people to comment and debate accordingly…

Anti Social Behaviour, Teenage Pregnancy, Drug & Alcohol abuse, Youth nuisance and similar problems highlighted by Local Authorities as priorities can all be dealt with if we work together. Community Board looks at how we can all work better to share Information, develop joined up ways of working and intervene early to address issues before they start.

We will also be looking at the benefit of Social Networks and how new technology and some free internet tools can increase our productivity and bring about better results, quicker and easier than ever before….

We will also look at the bigger picture and highlight some of the barriers preventing people from getting help when it is actually needed. Community Board is based on years of experience working across all aspects of community work and we hope that you find things useful, inspiring and above all, a good use of your time….

Enjoy the site, please comment and engage in debate as you see fit. Please be constructive and if you have an idea share it with others….
