Circles & Your Organisation - Community Circles

Our Training Programmes

Are you supporting people who are looking for ways to keep involved with the things that matter to them, exploring new opportunities and ways to connect? Are you a commissioner or development worker wanting to build such approaches as part of prevention or asset- based strategies?

At Community Circles we have been evolving and developing our approaches both before and during the pandemic, into many forms of “Circle” that enable people to connect and contribute in their communities. Our work is part of a wider range of “asset-based approaches” starting to radically change both social and health care.

Our range of programmes and courses will support you to explore using person centred approaches and tools to find out what matters to people and creative ways to enable what is practical and possible for keeping people connected and safe.

Our Courses

Partnerships

Community Circles partner with a variety of organisations and local authorities to share our learning, provide bespoke support and embed community and person centred ways of working.

We work together with our partners to explore what success looks like and tailor our support to achieve that together.
