recreation. What benefit flows from this purpose? • Greater community cohesion • Greater access to education; • Greater access to training; • Greater community capacity; • Greater health equalities; • Greater area prosperity; • Greater social mobility How we demonstrate how we meet that need. All Newhill programmes are monitored internally and externally by various audits.

This partnership ensures greater focus and synergy in the relief of area poverty. 2.

We have three priorities: achievement through learning for adults, for young people, and through building community capacity. Benefit: • Confidence: increases self-esteem • Decision making: engaging in education enables people to make better informed decisions • Independence: acquiring new skills increases independence • Personal development: learning is a process of self-improvement; • Professional Development: ensures people are equipped for change; • Self-direction: learning brings meaning to people’s lives‚ • Career: by learning new skills people open up new opportunities. 3. The Advancement of Health or the Saving of Lives Developing people’s wellbeing is part of our work. For this to happen people need to have a sense and experience of wellbeing in their physical and emotional ‘selves’. By attending to one area (e.g. self-esteem) this will support another (e.g. healthy eating). We do this this by focusing on disadvantaged groups.

Positive social outcomes will only occur when communities have the opportunities and facility to control and manage their own futures.
