Community Assets Report
A report from the event held on 27 October in NICVA, with details of the case studies, workshops and feedback and a look at barriers to support and income and what might be done to overcome these.
The Managing Community Assets event held on 27 October at NICVA was well attended, with 41 participants from various organisations from across Northern Ireland. Read the full report here.
Paula Reynolds, Director of Member Services at NICVA welcomed the audience and introduced the topic, noting that the event was organised in conjunction with Charity Bank, the Social Economy Network and UCIT.
In introducing the event Paula provided an overview of the current policy and economic context relevant to the management of community assets. Most notably this included information on the Quirk Report; the Cabinet Office report on the role of the third sector in managing public assets; and the analysis of the impact of the future Comprehensive Spending Review on public sector cuts.
Two case studies were delivered by Paula Bradshaw, Greater Village Regeneration Trust and Paul Roberts, Ashton Community Trust.
Both presentations centred on the development of their projects; their successes and failures in managing assets in terms of income generation and local involvement; where they have found most support; the impact of the recession and any future plans they have.
