Community Services
A group of volunteers have started their work to serve the community in different sectors in UK, helping old age and disable persons and very soon to work on a housing project for these people. The aims of the group in services are as following:

• Promote understanding of different factors which may influence individual’s attitudes towards official dealings;
• Improve cross cultural knowledge and understanding in the local community;
• Provide an environment in which community members can build their confidence and develop their social skills;
• Promote increased awareness of autistic spectrum conditions in the community;
• Identify, assess and support people with complex needs;
• Support people in developing their self-esteem and fulfilling their potential;
• Work intelligently and creatively, providing services to the needs of the person;
• Work in partnership with other providers and funders to enable people to access the services and support they need;
• Work alongside with other charities, groups and associations to enable and encourage co-ordination between local authority and voluntary services to ensure better integration of different modes and linkage;
• Develop and facilitate community involvement and participation to establish the level of each other needs;
