Below is a summary of the way in which the Ballybeen Men’s Motivation Group

will undertake its work

​

​

Values and What Do these Mean

 

Solution focused

​

• Need to set examples for others to follow in addressing the needs of our community

• Engage more with Politicians and influence them in addressing local needs more effectively

• Holding others to account for how services are delivered in our estate

• Manage the area in which we live in partnership with others

• Be the link between local concerns and the solution to these concerns - understand the causes and dedicate ourselves to finding the solution

• Creating solutions together with Government bodies and other funders

​

Will do / Can do – attitude

​

• Be proactive in order to actively grow

• Get people involved in making their lives better

​

Inclusion for all 

​

• Facilitate and work with other groups within the area  taking a partnership approach to what we do

• Strive for a more joined up community in Ballybeen

• Inclusion of multi-cultural and ethnic minority groups in what we do

• Making all people feel welcome

• Recognising that we live and work in a more diverse society

​

Joined up Community

​

• We know our community  and they know us

• We are connected to people which many statutory agencies are not

• Youth and elderly need to be included in the group – we will focus on intergenerational skills swapping as a way of building our community – computer skills; building and joinery skills for men; cooking, woodwork, painting & decorating, building, mechanical, yoga and general craft skills, etc.

​

People focused – hope builders

​

• Creating a sense of hope among local people
