Community Action Team
An opportunity to meet and ‘work’ with local people as they improve the resources and facilities around them in their local village.
This team will be made up of anyone wanting to contribute, engage, support and work with local communities.
Based in a more remote area, the team will work together with local community members to undertake a variety of projects whilst getting involved and included in local community functions and activities.
Anyone over the age of 18 is most welcome to come and contribute, knowing that your contribution will be most valued and appreciated.
Manual labour on a community project such as:
- Digging a trench
- Carting stone
- Mixing cement
- Hammering a nail

An opportunity to ‘work’ alongside community members:
- Learning
- Sharing
- Developing skills together.
Opportunity to effectively leave behind facility improvements, better use of local resources and sustainable aspects that will be maintained and managed by the people you work with during your time in the village.
Communities seek our assistance to improve, repair and maintain facilities, infrastructure or equipment used in a school, community facilities or other community assets. We will have the opportunity to enhance, encourage and enthuse.
