Community cohesion is a term to describe how everyone in a geographical area lives alongside each other with mutual understanding and respect.

We live in increasingly diverse communities which face challenges due to economic migration, intergenerational differences, the impact of poverty and the growing influence of extremism. Community cohesion policies face these challenges by encouraging integration, valuing difference and focusing on the shared values that join people together.

Getting on Together – a Community Cohesion Strategy for Wales was launched on 3 December 2009.
