What is a community? • ‘Community’ as a term is used as shorthand for the
relationships, bonds, identities and interests that join people together or give them a shared stake in a place, service, culture or activity.
• Distinctions between communities of place/geography and communities of interest or identity.
• Communities are dynamic and complex, people’s identities and allegiances may shift over time and in different social circumstances.
