Summary of the Para 1.17 To promote asset based community-
purposes of the charity led development: providing evidence-
as set out in its based training and experiential
governing document learning designed to create and
connect place-based partnerships
between residents and service
providers in very low-income
communities, such that residents are
able to identify and meet their own
needs. This work began in 2004 and
has led to a national network of
community-led partnerships and hubs
hosting easily accessed support and
workshops. C2NN partnerships work
by releasing latent social capital,
leading to greater social cohesion and
increased levels of health and social
well-being. The C2NN ethos is that
local people should always be at the
heart of decision making where they
live.

The focus of project work has been in
Surrey, Glasgow, Torbay and
throughout Devon and Cornwall.
Service providers using C2NN support
are mainly housing associations,
public health departments, the police
and violence reduction units.
This year has included detailed
planning for a Community
Engagement Summit to be held in
Exeter in September 2022. This will
bring together a diverse range of
people and organisations, providing a
mix of theory and practical examples
of C2NN’s work. It is also an
opportunity for the sharing of ideas,
and personal networking.
Our Chair, Hazel Stuteley, is seeking a
less hands-on role whilst remaining
fully committed to C2NN’s continuing
work. We are working collectively to
effect a seamless transition, which
includes developing roles for a wider
group of core people within C2NN.
Lessons learnt from the covid
pandemic have been incorporated into
this process.

Achievements against Our success is measured by the
Para 1.41
objectives set organisations who commission our
support, but more importantly by the
communities with whom we engage.
We assess our own performance
against the criteria of “Creating the
conditions for communities to lead
transformative change for
themselves.”
Our relaunched communications
strategy continues to raise the profile
of C2NN particularly in social media.
Performance of Para 1.41 During this year we conducted a
fundraising activities wholesale review of our fundraising
against objectives set from grants. Our initial working
assumption was that grants were
essential to supporting our core work.
However, we have concluded that
grant funders either do not
understand or are unwilling to support
our ultra-local approach, which
intentionally rejects the time-limited,
project-management focus of typical
grant funding. We are aware of a
change of approach by a few funders,
who are looking for long-term
relationships with groups like us,
focussing on a shared ethos and
approach. We would consider such a
relationship, but at this stage have
made a strategic decision not to
actively seek grant funds.

formal reserves. In practical terms we
have ‘cash in hand’ sufficient for our
needs to provide services and to
reimburse associates for their work in
a timely manner, as our experience is
that organisations who commission
services are reliable but slow at
paying invoices.
