Community First has been working to strengthen and sustain the unique vibrancy and character of Wiltshire rural communities for over 40 years and has established an unrivalled reputation for innovative and effective community development and support activity.

Our work will be found in almost every community and parish in Wiltshire and Swindon. Working in partnership with grass roots communities and multi-sector funder and voluntary organisations Community First delivers expertise and active development support to help sustain and improve the experience and quality of rural living for those most in need in our communities. Our work includes village halls, local councils, community grants, rural services, community projects and services, rural housing, credit unions, community transport, Link schemes, social enterprise, village shops and consultancy support.

The Community Grants programmes deliver further benefits in support of wide ranging local “grass roots” activities – from village ponds and play areas to cycle paths and lunch clubs.

Wherever you are living in rural Wiltshire it is more than likely that Community First has already made a significant and positive impact in your community.

But we want to do more
