Jolly Good Communities enable local community groups to organise and run events and activities in Barnsley.

We offer support and training for these groups, from consulting with residents for initial ideas, to implementing those ideas in a manner that is safe & inclusive. We bring communities together, recruit new volunteers and support them to develop the confidence to deliver their own events and activities, continuing our support and signposting after projects have been completed. We aim to support individuals to develop employability skills, confidence and improve their own well being. Our outcomes include improved community cohesion, sense of ownership and feeling included.

We work with various venues and groups and our events offer attendees a sense of togetherness, help to tackle loneliness and isolation and bring new experiences to families across Barnsley.
