Community Capacity Building

Engaging with the local community

The Clay Country Local Action Project aims to provide opportunities for the clay area of Cornwall, around St Austell, to develop and enable people to live in thriving communities. One key aspect of the project is to find fun, creative and interesting ways to give hard to reach people an opportunity to say what they would like to see happen in their communities.

We have been working with communities in three main areas:

Community buildings

Film club or dancehall? Helping communities explore new uses for village halls and community centres.

Outdoor Spaces

Exploring creative ways of using outdoor spaces and places

Building a sense of community

Engaging and involving people including those isolated from their communities

Do you have an idea?

If you live in the parishes of St Dennis, Roche, Luxulyan, Lanlivery, Lostwithiel, St Stephen-in-Brannel, St Mewan, Treverybn, St Blasie, St Enoder or Tywardreath and have an idea that you would like to develop in your community please contact Heidi Morgan on 01726 818550 or email hmorgan@sensorytrust.org.uk.
