Introduction
The Communities Service service supports the development of a youth offer for Cambridgeshire. Community Coordinators Youth and small project teams across Cambridgeshire deliver the service.
Led by communities
- Working in partnership with those working with young people at a local level.
- Working in partnership with local communities to understand local needs. So that we put resources in the right places, empower and support communities to deliver their own sustainable solutions.

Delivered by effective partnerships

Informed and enjoyed by young people
- Giving young people a say in every aspect of services provided for them.
