Community Support Network [CSN]
CSN disruptive technology is a digital platform and associated apps. CSN will help local people to effortlessly identify and connect with others on common interests and shared circumstances. CSN will assist community collectives to explore ways to work together to affect positive change.
CSN communal support services, provided to community-led groups; will use the collective insights and experiences of the individuals to identify common or underlying causes that can be more effectively and efficiently addressed, together, at the root source. By getting to the root of the matter, many of the personalised ‘symptoms’ can also be rectified.
Communal Social Support is a logistically and financially economic way to deliver widespread, long-term solutions with the potential to reap the widest community benefits and or impact.

Joint Solutions—
Shared Success
Shared or joint solutions can help local communities to actively:
Through pooling, even limited time, knowledge, experience and resources can be used to extraordinary effect.
While CSN tailored professional, technical and or specialist support [digital resources, legal advocacy, talk-therapy, admin support, training, etc.] can help community collectives to achieve more for less, improve their prospects of success, and provide invaluable skills.
Through CSN, everyone is able to play a significant part in shaping their local neighbourhood, contributing as little or a much as each is comfortable with, in whatever way feels natural to them.
CSN Primary Objectives
-
-
-
-
Provide a safe and secure platform that enables local community collectives to overcome socioeconomic adversity together;
Empower whole communities, via community collectives, to overcome the practical and psychological barriers to social and economic improvement;
Facilitate the widest possible participation, with minimum obligation, burden or inconvenience, to provide the maximum benefits and impact;
Nurture safe, united and prosperous communities that ensure equality of opportunity and support public health and mental wellbeing.
The Power
of Three
Pervasive and protracted racial and socioeconomic injustice, deprivation and or inequality can create both material and mental health challenges. Escaping what for some has become a way of life, means overcoming the practical barriers, such as scarcity, and a number of potential psychological repercussions: stress, depression, cognitive impairment, a detrimental impact on problem solving capabilities and self confidence, a loss of trust and or a heightened risk aversion.
These challenges can undermine even the greatest efforts to break free of the cycle of racial and socioeconomic hardship. To truly succeed, a balanced, holistic response should address and remedy three key contributory factors:
i Situational conditions and or external forces;
ii Practical and material needs [i.e. the scarcity];
iii Psychological impact and or cognitive impairment.
Although it is anticipated that CSN will most greatly impact those living with protracted inequality, deprivation, discrimination and injustice, the networks is designed to operate inclusively—providing equitable access to support and services, benefiting all participants according to their needs.
