Routledge Organising for Social Change - Community Work Study

Organising for Social Change by Routledge offers an in-depth study of the theory and practice of community work. Originally published in 1976, this text explores how community work contributes to solving problems within Britain's inner city neighbourhoods. It provides a detailed look at the community work process, outlining the specific tasks, roles, and skills required by professional community workers as they engage with neighbourhood groups and service agencies. The book examines the strengths of collective action, including the potential benefits and costs for participants. Readers will also find an analysis of how to implement changes in the delivery of services from statutory agencies. This volume is a valuable resource for those studying anthropology, sociology, and the social sciences through the lens of the National Institute Social Services Library.
