Parks and Green Spaces: Working with your local authority

• Community hubs most commonly operate out of buildings, from which multi-purpose, community-led services are delivered
• Community hubs often host other partners and access to public services. These co-locationapproaches are an efficient and effective use of resources
• Community hubs are in themselves a good use of local assets, and the model can help to underpin an enterprising and resilient community organisation.

• Community hubs can provide a means for alternative approaches to service delivery underpinned by the principles of community involvement and partnership
  
• Community hubs can facilitate this by providing a place where different local partners in a neighbourhood
• can come together and address the issues that matter most to them
• Community hubs can therefore support a neighbourhood focussed community-led approach.
