Communities can be localities, such as neighbourhoods, shared cultural identities or a group of people who share a common community experience or interest.
We are keen to engage with all communities and have two community engagement teams:
- Priority neighbourhoods
- Kingswood
- Staple Hill
- Patchway
- Filton
- Cadbury Heath
- Towns, parishes and rural
- Rural Social and Community Programme

Our community engagement teams can help with:
- Managing projects
- Fundraising support and advice
- Grant application advice
- Training
- Developing polices - for example health and safety guidelines, child protection policy, help with consultations and other legal frameworks
- Organising local events
- Equalities information
- Getting involved in decision making processes
- Linking with other groups in the voluntary and community sector and with statutory agencies
