We support local communities, groups and social enterprises to address social inclusion and equality issues and to grow capacity to develop stronger more sustainable communities.This supports communities to address poverty, social exclusion and equality issues by building the capacity of local committees and volunteers thereby creating more sustainable communities.

We work with local committees and volunteers using a community development bottom up approach. We do this by providing direct supports to local community groups to develop the capacity of their committee members and volunteers who represent or work with disadvantaged communities and target groups of the SICAP Programme. This assists them to engage with other stakeholders, actively improve the lives of their communities and address social exclusion issues that affect them. We provide advice to groups, share good practice and help them grow and develop.
