Communities First

Graigfelen Communities First
What is Communities First?
Communities First is the Welsh Assembly Government's
flagship programme to improve the living conditions
and prospects for people in the most disadvantaged
communities across Wales, and exists to provide local
people with opportunities to play an active role in
shaping the future of their community.
Communities First
- it is a long term programme and will run for at
least ten years
- local people themselves decide what is needed and
are helped to make it happen.
Communities First aims to:
- get local people involved in improving their areas
and their own prospects
- bring in funding and support from a range of sources
to make things happen
- make sure improvements last
- encourage flexibility, risk-taking and new ways
of dealing with problems
- involve everyone working together to identify and
do something about their community's problems.
The Welsh Index of Multiple Deprivation (WIMD) was
used to identify Communities First areas in the most
deprived areas of Wales.
The WIMD 2005 provides detailed information, categorised
by postcode, for all of Wales as well as separately
for Communities First areas. |
