abstract |
This article describes the development and continuing work of the Community Mobiliser
Service in Milton Keynes, United Kingdom. It presents selected findings from two qualitative
evaluation studies. The findings suggest that the Milton Keynes approach has much
to offer as a community development initiative, having successfully stimulated community
mobilization and participation on several estates in Milton Keynes for nearly ten
years. This article presents a snapshot of the service from the perspectives of parents,
young people, and other community members. It is shown that the service has been instrumental
in supporting individuals and groups of community members to strive towards personal
goals, develop community-based initiatives, and reduce dependency on services. This
article concludes by outlining elements of effective practice in building communities
collaboratively. |
