WHY WE PARTNERED
Ethos Partner Connor Bradley originally discovered Intensive Engagement in his stakeholder outreach for the Thames Valley Violence Reduction Unit. He said, “I noticed there was a significant gap in communication between a lot of like-minded organisations and local communities that lack the foundation on which they can grow. Intensive Engagement was already tackling these problems and more, using their 8 steps evidence-based approach, through which community leaders, members and local stakeholders become involved in identifying and developing new capabilities, describing new ambitions and delivering new levels of participation. Each of the steps builds towards delivering a foundation for tackling long standing challenges. The new community capability can be targeted towards reducing chronic crime, supporting individuals in high levels of deprivation, addressing vulnerabilities caused by poor health, isolation and poverty.”
