The BridgeNL Framework was designed to support and advance community development in North Lanarkshire. It supports in-person and digital participation, guiding CVS in its pursuit of information and engagement while offering tailored solutions and tools.
-
The BridgeNL supports Community and Voluntary Sector Development and Empowerment through active participation, co-production, collaboration and appreciative inquiry principles.
-
The BridgeNL also encompasses the North Lanarkshire CommUnity Agreement, which sets out shared core values and guiding principles to strengthen collaboration among NL residents, the Community and Voluntary Sector (CVS), the public sector, and the business sector for a better North Lanarkshire.
-
The BridgeNL has four layers and six community development paths.
-
It is delivered as an VANL’s website, (Community Portal) and its dedicated and interactive BridgeNL co-production application.
By streamlining processes and involving communities, the BridgeNL enhances alignment with VANL and external partners’ goals to develop and co-ordinate CVS activity effectively.
