People who are part of the Forge come from a wide catchment area. To help build a stronger sense of community, the Forge has developed a ’ Community Networker’ initiative. The Community Networkers have 3 core aims: To act as a point of contact both within the Forge and their local community; to act as a signpost for people so they can access the help, support and any follow up they might need; to be a 2-way link between the work of the Forge and their local community.
