How does it work?

The Cadarn award scheme is looking for a commitment to improve and not perfection.  Here is a summary of how the scheme works. There are four main stages to working towards your award:

1. One or more of your group taking part in Cadarn training
2. Working to meet the Scheme’s five goals
3. Applying for one of the three Small Scheme Cadarn awards: bronze, silver or gold
4. Renewing and updating your award every two years
5. You must have gone some way towards having all of the five goals in place before applying for an award. The type of award you apply for will depend on how well you have achieved each goal. The following pages cover these goals in detail.

The Five Goals

In order to gain a bronze, silver or gold award, your community will need to:

1. Form a group
2. Find out about your local area
3. Plan your actions
4. Record your progress
5. Involve the wider community
