(taken from Dev’t Day 13-02-07)
Like Any good community development initiative, Kingsway is much more
than an organization delivering a list of services to an area blighted by
deprivation. It adds value.
It becomes the hub at the heart of the community. At one level, it’s the
hub for local residents to participate, developing a sense of ownership and
trust. On another level, it’s a gateway to local residents for other service
providers, enabling better access to target groups. It offers sustainable
community regeneration because the Centre:
•
Develops awareness and understanding of health, poverty and
inequality issues;
•
Challenges attitudes and lifestyles, encouraging behavourial change
and it aids the integration process;
•
Acts as a social outlet and source of physical and emotional support
for many;
•
Develops a sense of pride in the community;
•
Encourages self confidence and personal development;
•
Promotes individual responsibility and mutual respect.
