Cheers Jack,
Welcome to Community Tool Box and Ask an Advisor! I really appreciate your question, quite unique truth be told, but admittedly it has me somewhat perplexed (not in a bad way, mind). Rather, it seems that Assets of Community Value are particular to the UK so I'm a little out of my depth, but I do understand what ACVs are and their importance to the communities in which they are located so will try to point you to the Chapter and sections in the Community Tool Box that might be of use to you as well as other resources I find. Okay, after a little rooting around I'm back. A bit of a head scratcher Jack, but it seems that Chapter 3, Section 8 might have what you're looking for; at the least it will provide you with insights as to where you might look for specific examples of ACVs and inform your thinking on ACVs generally. To get to Chapter 3, Section 8, go to the Community Tool Box home page where you'll notice the Learn a Skill (how-to information) button in the top left corner. Click it on and the click on table of contents and scroll down to "Community Assessment " which provides Information about how to assess community needs and resources, get issues on the public agenda, and choose relevant strategies." Then click on Chapter 3 - Assessing Community Needs and Resources, and as follows, Section 8 - Identifying Community Assets and Resources. That said, if you can't find the examples you're looking for you might try some of the web sites I found after a little searching. Out of curiosity I decided to Google "Examples of Assets of Community Value" and came up with the following five web sites that you can cut and paste into your browser (disclaimer, not sure how useful they will be to you, but I did notice that there are examples) at your leisure: 1) http://www.dover.gov.uk/Community/Assets-of-Community-Value/Home.aspx; 2) https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/fil... 3) http://www.kirklees.gov.uk/community/yourneighbourhood/assetsOfCommunity... 4) https://www.harrogate.gov.uk/cpi/Documents. /Assets%20of%20community%20value%20guidance%20notes.pdf; and 5) https://www.thanet.gov.uk/publications/community-development/assets-of-c.... So, with that Jack I really hope all this helps. If not, please engage with us again and we'll keep working together until we come up with a solution for you. Let us know if you have any other questions and again, we thank you for sharing your unique, yet intriguing question with us. Always remember you are never alone! Best to you.
