Community Facilitator
What is a Community Facilitator?
Community Facilitators are trained volunteer
outreach workers, who will assist Ascham Homes.
They will act as a go-between to facilitate
service improvement, bridge cultural gaps, facilitate communication
and engage with residents from diverse backgrounds and
communities.
Why?
Ascham Homes is committed to involve all
sections of the community, including hard to hear. We want to
obtain their comments, opinions and improve and increase
communication in the provision of our housing services.
Currently Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) and Lesbian, Bisexual,
Gay and Transsexual (LBGT) are under-represented.
How?
The community will be able to communicate
their concern to a facilitator who will have a good understanding
of the communities’ needs and cultural expectations. The
facilitators will then be able to translate these concerns to
Ascham Homes in a strategic way to improve service delivery.
Who will benefit?
Both the Community Facilitators (who all come
from Black & Minority Ethnic (BME) communities) and the
communities themselves will benefit. The Community Facilitators
will have the knowledge and support to facilitate forums and work
with communities to develop projects. Over time the aim is to
strengthen the community’s involvement in Ascham Homes’ activities
and help influence policies.
Community Facilitators Aims &
Objectives
Community Facilitators are requested to engage
in our service reviews, consultation forums, tenants’ and
residents’ associations, business planning and be able to advise on
service improvements.
In return, this will empower the Community
Facilitators to develop projects within the community and provide a
voice to influence Ascham Homes’ service delivery.
