Coleraine Borough Council – Community Training & Development ModelCBC wanted to expand upon their Cohesiveness Policy by creating the first detailed Community Training & Development Model in NI. McGarry Consulting devised a community development spectrum from single issue to sustainable social enterprise, laying out the steps – and skills - required of individuals, groups and statutory agencies to progress along the spectrum. The model was based on extensive discussion with local groups and in-depth analysis of national and international best practice.
