Involve is proud to announce the launch of the 'Community Power Pack'
(http://www.communities.gov.uk/publications/communities/powerpack );
a document that Involve has developed for Communities and Local
Government (CLG).

The 'Community Power Pack' contains all the information you need to
run a participative event on Empowerment. It follows Communities
Secretary Hazel Blears' announcement of a new Empowerment White Paper.
 It is aimed at groups who wouldn't normally take part to let their
views and experiences be known; and as a result we have made the pack
as practical and easy to use as possible.

The pack contains suggestions on how to run an event, with advice for
facilitators and organisers as well as detailed information about
empowerment issues. It also poses some questions around empowerment
issues that CLG would like to hear your views on. The results of the
events will feed into the development of the upcoming Community
Empowerment White paper.

For more information please visit the CLG website
(http://tinyurl.com/6qnrpl), where you can read the White Paper launch
document (http://tinyurl.com/2gls9b).

Alternatively please email unlockingTalent at communities.gsi.gov.uk for
more information.

Involve will be updating the pack based on user feedback and we
welcome any thoughts you might have on it. Please send your practical
thoughts and ideas on the pack to edward at involve.org.uk
