Human Rights in the Community pilot projects

The Human Rights in the Community project aims to empower individuals and communities with human rights language and tools. We will be working directly with three pilot local community groups, supporting them to use human rights to resolve everyday problems. The three pilot groups have now been selected and we are very much looking forward to working with them over the coming months – they are:
 
Arcadea: an arts organisation based in the North East of England that promotes and supports the cultural equality of disabled people. They use the arts to explore, understand and advance the position of disabled people within the community, with the aim of contributing towards creating an equal, inclusive and accessible environment for disabled people.
 
Capacity Global: Capacity believes that everyone has the right to live in a clean and healthy environment and participate in decisions that affect their lives. That's why they work with communities and people in urban areas who suffer most from environmental injustice, to ensure their voices are heard and to create opportunities for positive change. Capacity works with a diverse range of people from excluded groups and individuals to low income, ethnic minorities, disabled, young and the elderly.
 
Lancashire Consortium for Advocacy and Partners: a group of organisations [lead organisation N-Compass] providing a range of advocacy services to individuals and their carers across Lancashire. They aim to support individuals within their local communities to say what they want and obtain services they need – to improve and enhance their health, well-being and life opportunities.  

 

We will update this page with more information about the pilots as the project develops.
