An Introduction to Asset Based Community Development (ABCD)

Wednesday 5th February 2025: 1.30pm – 4.00pm

This Introduction to Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) will give an overview of ABCD and the following objectives:

• To understand why we need to change the way we work with people and communities
• To be introduced to the key questions that ABCD asks us to propose when working in communities
• To have a taster of some of these key questions and how they might apply in our lives and communities
• To see some practical examples in action
• Final reflections & actions to take away

This half-day course will be delivered by TPAS Cymru Associate Mark John Williams who has worked in Social Care and Community development since the mid 1980s and is currently working on a Regional Transformation Programme in North Wales.  Mark also set up a Community Interest Company & Cooperative called Flintshire DO-IT, where he works alongside ordinary members of the community & professionals, to apply a whole range of Asset Based Approaches, using Co-production principles.
