Community Capacity Building

"Community capacity is the ability and will of people who live in a locality to act collectively for their common good." (Dunlop Report)

This means, ‘Everyone working together to improve the quality of life'. By everyone we mean,

  • You,
  • your neighbours in North Belfast regardless of their background,
  • government workers,
  • councils and
  • voluntary bodies.

The capacity building programme supports North Belfast community groups working together to create a network of Community Empowerment Partnerships to help communities in the area.
