Community Development

Helping to bring about a situation where agencies, community groups, churches and individuals are working together for the positive development of the community of Newtownards.


We seek to do this through:

·         Supporting and enabling churches to engage more effectively with each other and their local community

·         Developing understanding of how the local community works

·         Acting as a catalyst for positive change

·         Mediation between groups, communities and individuals

·         Building and developing community fora

·         Lobbying statutory agencies and government departments
