Communities are the building blocks of our society and a treasure trove of strengths and potential. Traditionally, government has sought to identify the needs of communities and categorised them in terms of their levels of deprivation. Whilst some element of prioritisation may be required, this focus on needs can often result in greater levels of dependency. It also misses the many assets that lay within individuals, groups, and the surrounding 'fabric' of the neighbourhood.

Taith works with people in communities to identify and focus on their strengths and capacity - what it is that is working, why it is working, and how this can be harnessed and developed.

We use a range of approaches including Appreciative Inquiry, Open Space, and World Cafe to make the process positive, inspiring, and creative. We have extensive experience of working with diverse groups including young people, ethnic minorities, those with a disability, and older people.
