Community Safety and Social Impact issues can and do have a distinctly positive or a hugely negative effect on the wellbeing of individuals, organisations, communities and our environment.

‘Community Connect Wales’ specialises in providing practically based Consultancy and Training packages to Statutory bodies, Local Authorities, Housing providers, Employment agencies, Small to Medium sized businesses, Charity, Voluntary and Third Sector organisations.

Community Connect is far from being just another consultancy that doles out facts about legislation, rules and regulations. It places itself firmly in the area of providing operationally based consultancy, project management, education, information and training.

Many problems that impact negatively on peoples lives only ever occur or escalate because people lack the knowledge, experience and confidence to know how to address them in a specific and decisive manner.

Modern, multi-agency, problem solving methods mean that few actions employed to pro-actively tackle these issues lie with any one single person, organisation or group.

People co-operating and working together in 'Real' partnerships is a very powerful, and effective way of tackling all sorts of social problems. It brings a whole variety of skills, abilities, backgrounds, contacts, opinions, attitudes and perspectives to the table in order to solve problems.

It is all about making sure that people within organisations are confident and properly equipped to provide the quality services that are so very important to the people who rely on them.

Because, this is all about addresssing very real isues that impact on peoples lives.

At Community Connect we always talk about ‘Turning Process into Practice’ and we mean it. It is about knowing how you can be involved in bringing about positive outcomes with and on behalf of the people who really do depend on you to make their lives better.
