Comments on: Communities last http://www.thisismytruth.org/2009/07/communities-last/ ...now tell me yours Wed, 10 Mar 2010 10:45:54 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.1 hourly 1 By: Charlie http://www.thisismytruth.org/2009/07/communities-last/comment-page-1/#comment-36 Charlie Wed, 15 Jul 2009 23:13:09 +0000 http://www.thisismytruth.org/?p=50#comment-36 The concept of Communities first is brilliant and very much needed but for ALL of Wales. In my experience the "deprived" individuals in Wales are those who work, have morgages, pay their bills etc not many individuals who believe that its the goverments place to support them. Why should the working families who have the principles and values of community life miss out on FREE activities to those who believe the world owes them. I was awarded the UNLTD social entreprenuer award for Wales (level 2) represented UK in world summit of SE in Thailand as well as World forum of social enterprises in Edinburgh, my last 3 years in the sector has been a living hell literally just for wanting to make a difference to help safeguard my childrens futures. As I do not come with Qualifications, fancy terminology or fit into a tick box people only referred to me as a troublemaker, psycho, crazy until now, where they are now noticing my natural ability of engaging with the "hard to reach" individuals as well as having an amazing vision of social innovation. Over the past 3 years I have created the perfect social enterprise model of the 21st century community centre for fitness, work based learning, entreprenuership and social events which I truly believe is the model to create better health, employment and safer communities, the perfect model to make communities first programme sustainable as well as measure outcomes, make an impact and bring down many barriers whereas they have been building them to safeguard their own roles. The c1st partnership and steering groups should all be abolished create mega problems within the communities. The staff say "no" more than "yes" falsify numbers of outcomes of training programmes or activities as they include themselves and their families in it, as well as the steering group & partnership which I yet to see a member who is or has been "deprived" in thier life. I truly believe that c1st can succeed and achieve excellent outcomes over their final years and I hope that I will be one of the many to make it happen..... To many individuals criticise too easily or run fast when a ship is sinking, the stronger individual will always try to keep it afloat and then work to sail it smoothly to their destination. Social Innovators/Entreprenuers are greatly needed in Wales to work with all, to produce great futures of our communities, network internationally and to show the present "system" how to partnership for outcomes and impact rather than funding opportunities.
