Our Latest Work
Take a look at some of our recent projects.
What We Do
Most of what we do falls into one of these areas:

We can help community groups come together, develop shared aims, agree a constitution and start to organise change in their local area. And we can help existing groups develop and grow their impact.

We work with communities to identify what their priorities are, develop plans and put them into practice.

We work with local people to tackle the poor state of many parks and play areas in many of our communities, and create safe, fun places for everyone.

Your Back Yard can help your club ensure it has everything in place in order to maximise its chances of attracting investment from external funders.

We can help in the crucial early stages of the Neighbourhood Development Plans process, engaging local people to give communities the chance to shape what kind of development happens in their area.

We can help people to run and improve community buildings, bringing in more people, putting on more activities, improving facilities and reducing costs.
