Creative Communities' Toolkit
This Creative Communities’ Toolkit has been developed by GAVO and Monmouthshire County Council with funding from the Rural Development Leader programme.
This is an easy to follow practical guide to help people come together and engage with their community about matters that are important within your locality.
The toolkit will help you to organise groups, services and activities that you feel are needed to build strong, resilient communities that support people’s health and wellbeing.
