Dream Homes: Ten Years on

Dr Judith Brown, of the Third Sector Development Unit, and Professor Robert MacDonald have been commissioned to undertake a small-scale evaluation and review of the development of Community Campus 87, a Teesside-based social enterprise.

In the mid-90s, Professor MacDonald carried out an evaluation of Community Campus, concluding that it was a very successful model of how to work cooperatively to resolve problems of youth homelessness.

In the intervening period, CC87 has expanded further (into more general youth work, youth training and youth support) and gained an international reputation for its achievements.

This new study will update the Community Campus story – examining the key question of how a grassroots, voluntary sector organisation can expand and develop at the same time as remaining true to its core values.
