About Asset Based Community Development?

Asset Based Community Development (ABCD) Institute

was founded in 1995 after 3 decades of community

development research

Founded by Professor John McKnight and Professor

Jodi Kretzman at Northwestern University Chicago

ABCD is asset based and relationship driven

ABCD demonstrates focuses on assets in a community

ABCD challenges traditional approaches to solving

urban problems

Page 12: Asset Based Community Development Workshop mcr nov 13 slide share copy

HELPING LOCAL PEOPLE DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS TOGETHER

Asset Based Community Development

A Strengths Based Approach is a different way of

thinking about how to work for change – starting

from a place of possibilities, strengths and

capacities as opposed to problems and deficiencies.

A Strengths Based Approach helps residents and

organisations manage change by mobilising their

existing and potential capacities, resources and

assets.

Page 13: Asset Based Community Development Workshop mcr nov 13 slide share copy

HELPING LOCAL PEOPLE DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS TOGETHER

Asset Based Community Building

Six principals of Community Building

Start with people’s strengths

Start with relationship building

Placed based work is vitally important since most things come together in the neighbourhood

Citizen-led action is more durable and sustainable than professional intervention

Social justice is at the heart of every community building effort

When the conversation shifts from ‘isn’t it awful’ to what’s possible? Real community building begins

Page 14: Asset Based Community Development Workshop mcr nov 13 slide share copy

HELPING LOCAL PEOPLE DO EXTRAORDINARY THINGS TOGETHER

rather than problems

more than weaknesses

What can be done instead of what can’t be done

Leaders, Connectors & Gift Givers

Leaders – Those that will lead the process long after you are gone. They are passionate about opening doors in their community and are aware of the strengths as well as the challenges within their community

Connectors – Those that easily connect with large numbers of their neighbours, they are serial relationship builders and seem to know everyone. On average a connector will know 50 people by name in their community.

Gift Givers – Those who want to contribute a particular skill, gift or knowledge set to the community building effort, but not well connected themselves, or may not see themselves in a leadership role.

Responses from Picture Survey

“Working together”, “Overcoming difficult situations”, “Many can achieve more than the individual”, “People get more done together if working to the same goal”, “Do stuff rather than talk it down”, “Ignore naysayers”, “Actions speak louder than words” “Resilient”, Paving the way”, “Local resources”, “Recycling”, “No outside expert required to find the solution” “If you have the same care in wanting to achieve a particular goal and are happy to play your part, brining different strengths together, the impossible can be achieved” “Stay strong, stand strong”! “The only thing worse than those who give up and don’t try are those who do nothing” “This picture reminds me of the work going on in Alt, it should read the person who says it cannot be done should look at Alt and the people who are doing it”! “It also reminds me of teamwork and what can be achieved”! “I think its fantastic, full of symbolism. Any group or community cannot fail to be Inspired by ants, their ability to be so physically small yet solve huge and complex Issues”. ”We may not appreciate the damage they can wreak on crops and buildings, But their ability to battle the odds and win is clear in the picture”. ”Simple and powerful too”.

Asset Role Call in Lostock (Trafford)

I just wanted to share some of the amazing gifts of the people of Lostock that we have already

discovered.

It is a long and interesting list and doesn’t include everything, remember this list has been

gathered in just under 4 Months, so here goes we’ve got:

Gardeners, Cleaners, Bee Keepers, Bakers, Skaters, Jewelers Makers, Carpenters, Builders,

Knitters, Radio Entrepreneurs, Fishermen, Chefs, Teachers, Card Makers, Jam Makers, Wine

Makers, Recyclers, Quiz Masters, Veg Growers, Plumbers, Zumba Instructors, Shop Keepers,

Party Organisers, Bike Riders, Child Minders, Computer Wizards, Cartoonists, Graffiti Artists,

Dancers, Actors, Talkers, Dog Walkers, Spiritual Leaders, Healthy Eaters, Readers, Roofers,

Hairdressers, Make Up Artists, Singers, Comedians, DJ’s, Support Workers, Carer’s, BMXer’s,

Footballers, Campers, Out Doors Explorers, Mountain Climbers, Hikers and Bikers…..

What happens next with this information is up to the Residents to decide, the list is growing

every day and people are beginning to gather around ideas which utilise the skills they have

that they can share with other people in engaging, practical and imaginative ways. The

possibilities seem endless as does the list of assets waiting to be found.

Alison Hills Story

Off the train tracks on to the right tracks

The boring bit

24 years of depression is enough for anyone to

put up with. A load of different types of medication,

therapy, and everyone sticking their nose in!! A

new diagnosis of Cyclothymia 4 years ago made

me realise I wasn't mental, I was just ill. For a

while it beat me, to the point of constant thoughts

of suicide. Hence the "off the train tracks" in the

title.
