Originally published in 1976, the aim of this book was to
understand the contribution of community work to meeting some of
the problems to be found in many of Britain’s inner city
neighbourhoods. It describes the community work process and the
tasks, roles and skills of the professional community worker as he
interacts with neighbourhood groups and service agencies. The
author also indicates some of the strengths of collective action
and its likely benefits and costs to those who participate. The
book includes an examination of how to effect changes in the
delivery of services from statutory and voluntary agencies, as well
as an assessment of the community project of which the author was a
staff member. The book is a contribution to the theory of community
work and practice, and it is based upon the experience of those who
worked in, and used, the Southwark Community Project, established
by the National Institute for Social Work. It was written for
practitioners, teachers and students of community work, as well as
for other closely involved in community affairs such as teachers,
playground workers, planners and social workers.
