The aim of this project is to help people in their communities get to know one another on a more personal level; this is to help the increasing problem of people not knowing their neighbours. By creating a space for communities to socialise it encourages people to come together and do activities enabling a greater sense of belonging. Within each community, particularly Bath, there is a phenomenal amount of space available for people to use, Team V Bath are getting creative and thinking of new and inventive ways to transform these spaces to benefit others.
According to Keep Britain Tidy (KBT) in 2012, the notion that 53% of us do not feel a sense of pride towards our local area was discussed. Team V are making it their aim to change the way in which communities socialise with each other as well as how people view their local area giving them a sense of pride and more connected to their community. CABE, Future Health and Wellbeing (2009) have stated that 91% of us believe that public parks and open spaces improve quality of life. With Team V working towards making these areas more accessible and enjoyable, they aim to improve the quality of life for communities.
