| Annotation | The Hull Community Care Development Project was a 3-year pilot initiative to develop the capacity of local communities to respond to their own support and "community care" needs. A Community Care Development Coordinator was appointed to work in two deprived areas of Hull. An independent evaluation by Deborah Quilgars of the Centre for Housing Policy, University of York has been published by the Joseph Rowntree Foundation (JRF) as 'Communities caring and developing: lessons from Hull'. These findings outline the challenges to community care development, and outline key benefits arising from the project including: opening of new community facilities; increase in community activities; developing and strengthening networks; and generating more resources for the community.
