PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Community Development (7 January 2015)

Question Asked

To ask the Minister for the Cabinet Office, on what criteria the locations for the Community Organiser programme were chosen.

Asked by:
Lisa Nandy (Labour)

Answer

Senior Community Organisers are hosted by locally rooted community organisations. These organisations had to apply to Locality (who deliver the programme on behalf of government) to host a community organiser. The application process included questions on how the organisation would support the community organiser, their understanding of community organising and the case for a community organiser in their particular area. Applications were then assessed by a panel which included representation from the Office for Civil Society and Locality.
