COMMUNITY SOCIAL WORK: THE BIGGER PICTURE

Internationally, Community-based Social Work (CSW) is definitely NOT dead in the water.

Nations, continually facing country-wide disasters, know they need to support whole communities. We knew it too when Covid first hit us. Facebook groups helping local people sprang up everywhere. They have died down now because there are no resources to sustain the work.

We are currently being hit with the worst cost of living crisis we’ve known in generations. Which individuals do we support? Or do we use our skills to support whole neighbourhoods?

It is time for a revival of our collective understanding about what CSW is and what it can achieve.

If you have an interest in CSW or have ever used CSW skills, join colleagues at this meeting and be part of the BASW Special Interest group (SIG).

At this meeting on Tuesday 24 June at 6:30pm, Fergal O’Brien will be sharing his research into community social work practices. It promises to be a really engaging session, full of ideas and inspiration.
