Communities 1st Communities 1st

Communities 1st develops, connects and supports local voluntary and community organisations, helping to improve the quality of peoples lives across the East of England.

We are home to the St. Albans, Hertsmere, Broxbourne and East Herts Volunteer Centres, providing support and guidance for those who want to become volunteers and those who want to recruit volunteers.

We provide support services for older people and those with vulnerabilities and facilitate various meetings and events around health and wellbeing within the community and at a higher level. We offer Group Support resources for new community groups and ongoing information and advice on everything from funding to social media for existing groups in districts of St. Albans and Hertsmere.

Through our buildings, we offer training, networking opportunities, room hire and office rental. We also deliver specific projects within the counties of Hertfordshire, Luton, Bedfordshire, Cambridgeshire, West Essex and the surrounding areas.

Our vision is to work to build inclusive, empowering and vibrant local communities.

Our Mission is to work with people across all sectors to make a positive and sustained impact on the wellbeing of local people through Support, Knowledge, Voice, Infrastructure and Innovation.
