Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) is a neighbourhood-based approach to community building that supports people and communities to consider what they can resolve themselves, what they need support with and what is best delivered by the local authority and other agencies. Key to the approach is the belief that given the tools and the opportunity, small groups of individuals can change the things that they believe need changing in their community better than anyone else.
In Beeston Hill we have seen loads of projects start from the South Leeds Valkryies womens basketball team, to work improving bin yards, developing local pocket parks, litter picks, craft sessions and a boot camp
We’re always keen to hear from people who have ideas for the community where we might be able to help kick start!
