It’s our community
This project will identify innovative forms of community-led services and models of ownership of local services by community organisations, through comparison across Europe. We will identify practical forms of delivering community-led services, including mutual and co-operative models.
The project will seek to answer the questions ‘How can people take control?’ and; ‘What’s the most appropriate method for specific services?’
Increasingly local people are seen as co-designers and even co-producers of services rather than mere consumers. This project will identify ways of highlighting the most innovative models of local ownership, drawing from European examples. The project enables the most ground-breaking models to be shared across Europe for the first time.
‘It’s our community’ is a project of The Big Society Network and NCVO and supported by Calouste Gulbenkian Foundation and NESTA
