In November 2013 Cormac Russell and Jim Diers participated in the ‘Voice and Influence’ conference, focussed on exploring an Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach to supporting community activity in Torbay.

Cormac and Jim introduced the concept to more than 100 community, voluntary and social enterprise sector representatives, enabling the asset mapping of local organisations and interested parties to begin.
