What is the purpose of a CAG ?
CAGs aim to build active and influential communities based on mutual respect.
CAGs work in a relaxed way as part of a working group of the Local Neighbourhood Partnership (LNP) inviting local people from the community and organisations, so that everyone can take part in influencing change.
CAGs involve working with communities and all agencies in the public, private and community sector.
Who should attend CAG Meetings ?
Anyone who has a genuine interest in the local community should come along. CAGs are held once a month, starting at 6pm and lasting for 2 hours, including a buffet and refreshments. Call 01922 654703 for venue details and dates for your LNP area.
CAGs are a community process because:
The CAG process involves:
•Tackling the issues which people in your community identify as being important to you.
•Helping people understand why the issues they want to tackle have come about.
•Networking with local groups and organisations, working together to find solutions to the problems in your area.
•Working towards changes which reduce inequality in your local community.

What CAGs are not
The following points are an attempt to answer common questions raised in previous CAGs.
CAGs are not set up to be:

Quick
Community regeneration is a long term process, focusing on people and their needs and aims. This long term approach is essential to ensure that changes are sustainable and long-lasting

A numbers game
If only five people turn up to the meeting, these are the five people you start working with

Consultation
CAGs are much more than consulting on decisions already made

A cheap way of delivering services or validating funding bids

Talking Shop
The CAGs are the responsibility of all the people and members who attend to develop and progress positive partnership working

The answer to everything
CAGs are set up to deal with local issues and plan local solutions not to be the answer to everything
