The Community Development Foundation has set up an Expert Panel on community development and is gathering information about the community sector, and what role community development should play in the future.

They believe that community development is extremely important and that it should be protected. They are expecting to see big changes in coming years, as public services are delivered in different ways, and power is decentralised to give more control to communities.  The new government’s manifesto speaks of “an army of community organisers”. But what does this mean for community development?

The panel is seeking stories and experiences from communities and  people working in community development.
