Community Cohesion

Kandu’s holistic and well recognised methodology (see about us page) has led to the delivery of many community projects. We have been engaged by housing associations, universities, and regional development agencies to work with communities at grassroots level to broker relationships and dialogues between communities, decision makers and explore areas of contention in creative, engaging ways by celebrating and building on the talents, energy, and common humanity of all concerned.

Using workshops, film, music, presentations and games, we have delivered many of the following projects.

Whatever Project A national Housing Associations award winning project in partnership with several years of provision of mentoring, team building and ready-for-work skills development and facilitation to 16-24 year olds on Westlea/Greensquare Housing employability programme.
