Our Approach
Living well in Redcar and Cleveland is everyone’s business
Builds on Redcar and Cleveland history of involving and engaging local people and communities.
Builds on what is working well rather than focusing on problems and needs.
Focuses on community-driven initiatives rather than initiatives being driven by public agencies.
A major part of the strategic shift in way of working – focus on prevention/early help, recovery to promote independent living and continued support

Purpose:
People want to live in healthy communities, in which they:
feel able to be who they are
have positive prospects for their future
experience respect and equal and fair treatment
Focus:
To achieve this people want to be in a community that:
creates wealth and gives everyone access to its benefits
cares for all its members, when they need it, throughout their life span provides an environment that is safe and attractive
enables people to express and celebrate their creativity and diverse cultures
enables everyone to participate in decision that affect their lives
Methods:
To support people to contribute to the creation of such a community, community development supports:
opportunity for people to learn and develop their own skills
reaching out to and involving those who may be excluded or disadvantaged
helping communities to create organisations that can tackle their needs and represent their interests
working to promote engagement and dialogue between communities and agencies that affect their lives.
