OVERARCHING OBJECTIVES
The Abundant Assets Alliance UK (AAA UK) is a forum of like minded organisations that aim to link their expertise, networks and influence to ensure that all people across the UK can have access to the developmental assets they need to become healthy, caring, and responsible community members.

AAA UK’s vision is:

  • To support the transformation of organisations to be asset-rich resources
  • To support statutory and third sector organisations to be catalysts and partners for community transformation
  • To join with other organisations across the country to influence social norms and policies

These are all ambitious objectives, but with the current wellbeing of our nation, the powerful effectiveness of the Developmental Assets framework, we believe there is greater strength in partnering together to help tackle the difficult challenges our society faces.

DEVELOPMENTAL ASSETS FRAMEWORK
The Developmental Assets (DA) framework is a model that contains the main factors that make a person thrive.

  • Based on 50 years of primary and secondary research (including hundreds of academic studies), used by 2.5 million people worldwide, the DA framework contains 40 factors that a person needs to reach their potential.
  • The research has identified 40 of these assets that fall into 2 broad spheres and 8 subsets. The broader spheres are External factors and Internal factors.
  • The External factors are the structures, relationships and activities that create a positive environment for personal development. The Internal factors are the values, skills and beliefs that a person needs to fully engage and function in the world around them.
  • An example of an External factor would be a participating in a music or sports club. Internal factors that could be an ability to be a peace maker or having a positive sense of purpose. These 40 factors together form the Developmental Assets framework.
