BRANCH is an intelligent service platform that helps Islington Council understand the assets and needs of residents living in social housing in order to deliver better community services that help residents to build strong communities and better support for their health and wellbeing.
My research allowed me to produce a framework that defines how the development of a sense of community, in the context of social housing, is directly related to the engagement residents have with themselves, and the intensity of use of public resources and infrastructure available to them.Considering this framework, the service objectives are to:
1. Align community services with residents' needs and ensure inclusivity according to their circumstances.
2. Enable and empower residents and community centre staff to co-organise their own activities.
3. Start and maintain engagement with all residents by having inclusive and representative methods.
4.Ensure community centres’ role as a public resource in building strong and resilient
