Community Solution Seekers - Yeovil and surrounding parishes

Join the Community Solution Seekers!

This is a welcoming space where local people and organisations serving the community come together to explore ways to improve health and well-being in their communities. You don’t need to be an expert - just bring an open mind, a willingness to listen, and a desire to share ideas when you’re ready.

We’ll be meeting regularly over the next few months to develop and refine your ideas and suggestions. Together, we can turn ideas into action and make a meaningful impact!

"Discover the Strengths Around You: Learn the Skills of Asset Mapping"

This hands-on session will explore:

• What asset-based community development is (and why it works)
• How to map community assets — from people and places to passions and possibilities
• Practical ways to connect local strengths for collective action
• Tools and techniques to take back to your group, organisation or community
