Every Action Counts is an initiative supported by the Department
for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (DEFRA).
Every Action Counts is based on the idea that every community
group, whether big or small, rural or urban focused, has a critical
role in environmental sustainability.
FCDL belongs
to a consortium of community and voluntary sector organisations,
which is delivering this initiative to support community-based groups
to identify and develop community actions on sustainable development.
The Federation's aim is to increase the skills, knowledge and resources
of community development workers and trainers (paid and unpaid).
We have been funded to deliver a planned programme of work until
2009.
Our activities
include:
- Training trainers to deliver a range of courses on sustainable
development
- Training community workers to incorporate sustainable development
into their everyday work
- Supporting community organisations to practise sustainable development
principles
- Developing dedicated training materials
The new resources we are delivering range from informal sessions
and tasters to resource packs and a new Community Work Skills Manual
on sustainable development.
