50 <strong>Measuring</strong> <strong>Impact</strong> – Case-studies of impact assessment<br />
7.3.2 Social capital<br />
Trust: As a result of the Troubles in Ardoyne there was a lot of mistrust among groups and<br />
individuals. Among community groups in Ardoyne this mistrust manifested itself in the form<br />
of competition for funding, and an unwillingness by groups to share ideas and information<br />
relating to funding. As one group put it, following the intervention of AFG, “groups are not<br />
doing things for their own good but for the good of the community”. These indicators<br />
summarise how AFG is seen by groups and individuals in terms of building trust (e.g. by<br />
improving communication within the community about what is happening).<br />

Standards of behaviour: The trust that was increasing in the area was facilitated by open<br />
communication between groups and residents. There is now an expectation that all groups let<br />
others know what funding they are applying for. These indicators summarise how groups and<br />
individuals see AFG in terms of setting standards of behaviour. For example, street violence is<br />
frowned upon, and AFG has worked to persuade those involved in violence that it is only<br />
harming the community of Ardoyne.<br />
