Community Organisers are dedicated, motivated people who build trust, respect and networks through dialogue and a systematic, broad-based local listening process that ignites the impulse to act.

Community Organisers:

are recruited and hosted by local community organisations like Sneinton Alchemy
listen to residents in the homes, on the streets and where they gather
listen to public service workers, small businesses and local institutions
enable people to take action on their own behalf
help communities to tackle the issues which are important to them

Our initial 3 Community Organisers: Steve Smith, Shabana Najib and Dawn Manners completed their training in March 2013 after a year of hands-on experience working in Sneinton and academic study.

They were joined by Simone Miller and David Jones in December 2012 who are extending the CO work whilst training and studying themselves. David and Simone Miller also graduated as fully qualified Community Organisers and joined Alchemy as full time employees for a further year.

Steve, David, Simone and Shabana are continuing their work in the area, through Sneinton Alchemy projects such as Near Neighbours and the Volunteer Training Programme, and through other organisations such as NOMAD (Notts Music and Dance).
