Programmes
We run a number of externally funded programmes which help us:
- Gain relevant experience to inform policy
- Put policy into practice
- Test policy or practice
- Learn and share our learning
- Network and form partnerships
- Lead the way in community development
Our programmes are national in scope and have an evaluation and support programme alongside them to improve the work and the outcomes achieved.
