Community Participation Project
This project is being run by Delos Community in partnership with Northamptonshire County Council and is designed to support a person to identify and explore different day, evening and weekend activities in line with their interests and needs.
The purpose of the Project is to:
- Support people to make real and valued contributions to and become
connected within their local community
- provide one to one basis to firstly identify each person’s interests and
then help them integrate into their community through these interests
- meet new people and gain new friends
- gain a sense of achievement and feel valued
- take part in different activities to those provided by day centres
- provide enough support to sustain community activities and transfer support to mainstream organisations and informal support
How does it happen…for you?
- take part in different activities to those provided by day centres
- provide enough support to sustain community activities and transfer support to mainstream organisations and informal support
- you will have your own worker (Community Connector) to help
you choose your activities
- your worker will listen to you and those that know you to see what interests you have
- you will be able to try different activities to see what you enjoy the most
- your worker will help you to settle in to your activities and get to know people
- you will have help arranging how you get to your chosen activity
- your worker will stay with you, until you feel safe
and comfortable without them
Tell us how you want your life to be and we will help you get there!
