Community Infrastructure Support Group

The Community Infrastructure Support Group's purpose is:

To develop a strategic approach to the planning and provision of community capacity building activities delivered within Redcar & Cleveland by promoting better collaboration and coordination between the various support organisations locally around (but not exclusively restricted to) the following issues:

  • Pooling information to establish a map of need for community capacity building across the Borough
  • Mapping existing provision by support organisations delivering community capacity building activities within the Borough
  • Providing evidence of the long term value of community capacity building to local funders and agencies and advising them on models for more sustained and consistent funding
  • Jointly considering redeployment or rationalisation to fill gaps and seeking additional resources to fill gaps which cannot be met by rationalisation
  • Mapping issues covered, including where community capacity building is generic and where it is issue-specific, and seeking ways to fill gaps in issues covered
  • Establishing common or reciprocal objectives and organising networking and cross-referral to maximise the impact of community capacity building activities
  • Agreeing ways to capture outcomes and linking the indicators in the Local Area Agreement and Sustainable Community Strategy with other community capacity building objectives, processes and measures
  • Agreeing steps to bring all community capacity building practice up to an agreed standard.
  • Prepare quarterly reports to the Stronger Communities Partnership summarising Infrastructure activity within the Redcar & Cleveland Area.
