Community project

A community project is a term applied to any <a href="/facts/Community/LIptGwqy">community</a>-based project. This covers a wide variety of different areas within a community or a group of <a href="/facts/Social_network/kQg6aEVf">networking</a> entities. Projects can cover almost anything, including the most obvious section of concern to any community, the <a href="/facts/Welfare_spending/awUwQxkd">welfare</a> element. Welfare community projects would for example be, a locally run and locally funded orphanage; a Christmas dinner kitchen for the homeless. Another important sector of importance to the community would be <a href="/facts/Charity_(practice)/zMRlNMQk">charity</a>. Charitable projects in the community can include, but are not limited to, <a href="/facts/Ecological/YE8upuJU">ecological</a> charities concerned with either the maintenance of <a href="/facts/Urban_open_space/wukaWkQm">green spaces</a>, or in some cases, the prevention of the reduction/removal of green spaces. An old clothes collection service would also be a community-based charity project. One important subdivision of community projects, and at times overlooked, is those of an economic nature such as <a href="/facts/LETS/w69JXsRP">LETS</a>. The highlight of economic community projects is what is known as <a href="/facts/Transition_Towns/aWUwYK6x">Transition Towns</a>. Most economic community projects are designed at creating some sort of economic <a href="/facts/Autonomy/5ne4C7N8">autonomy</a>.
It begins when a small collection of motivated individuals within a community come together with a shared concern: how can our community respond to the challenges, and opportunities, of <a href="/facts/Peak_oil/s0YlwPS6">peak oil</a> and <a href="/facts/Climate_change/rEN4BDE7">climate change</a>?
