#GoodHelp "can help people escape the cycle of inadequate work and joblessness, enabling them to make sustainable improvements to their situation, gaining better and better employment over time"

We certainly believe that better life circumstances leads to growing #confidence and sense of purpose, which powers positive action leading to even better life circumstances
Supporting people with #SocialSecurity can be an essential part of this

Further evidence that giving money to people in poverty doesn't disincentivise work - in fact it has the opposite effect as it "create[s] capacity for goal setting, risk taking, & personal investment". It's time to fundamentally rethink social security. theatlantic.com/ideas/archiv…
#GoodHelp "can help a person maintain and build their level of self-efficacy, bridging the gap between losing their job and finding a new one"

Be interesting to look at when #ABCD and other #communityorganising techniques do and don't follow the #goodhelp characteristics. We know that @corganisers does but there's lots out there which doesn't... perhaps for v good reasons...
What are the main similarities between #communityorganising and other approaches to working with communities?
We have sought to answer this question in our book Community Organising Compared

It's been amazing working with @RochdaleCouncil on a project around the borough's response to the #COVID19 pandemic
