Dunterlie Action Group

We are a coalition of group leaders who have formed an action group in order to involve more local people in our work, strengthen local partnerships, enhance the knowledge and skills of our members while building a deeper understanding of the issues affecting our community. We will work towards community management and/or ownership of the centre. Develop a partnership of organisations who can help us improve the running of the building. Work towards the Community Centre being opened daily including weekends and providing a friendly reliable welcome. We aim to secure long term funding to support and further our aims of community-led activity. We will develop the ability to employ staff and fund volunteer expenses as they will be able to help us demonstrate the continued value of the work we do. This includes increasing the visits to the center from under 100 to over 300 per week, the creation of 15 new groups that help to address social isolation, poverty, mental health, educational outcomes and many other issues. We plan to continue being open, inclusive and transparent in how we work. We will improve our communication, using all relevant methods, to ensure we reach as many people as possible. Continue the momentum and strong sense of community that is felt in the Centre and use this to build connection and cohesion. We want to provide a space where the Community of Dunterlie can explore and test ideas that important to them. We will work to strengthen groups and partnerships so that Dunterlie Action Group continues to be a resilient and sustainable organisation that supports local people to build a community that are proud to live in and feel empowered to participate in.
