Community Empowerment in Wales Friday 25th March 2011 – Cardiff Capita’s Community Empowerment in Wales Conference focuses on the work being done in Wales to create strong, cohesive and empowered communities. With the whole of the UK focusing on localism and the role of communities in delivering services, this event comes at an ideal time to assess the contribution of your organisation. Demonstrating the Welsh Assembly Government’s commitment to local and voluntary services, in November 2010 Carl Sargeant AM launched a £13.5 million Community Economic Development Programme, to help make community groups, third sector organisations and social enterprises less dependent on grants and more able to bid for contracts. This conference provides an ideal opportunity for those working in a range of organisations from across Welsh local government and voluntary organisations to come together to discuss: • How to forge the partnerships necessary to build strong communities • The financial implications of community empowerment and what this will mean for your organisation • Solutions for encouraging greater community participation • Guidance on how to mainstream empowerment and engagement projects Attend this conference to get a holistic view of best practice in designing and delivering services at a local level.
