Working together to improve things for our residents, communities, places and the environment.

The headline commitments

We will give more power to communities by building participation approaches with people and VCFSE organisations, so that people can shape their own futures, rather than be recipients of decisions made elsewhere.

We will make sure the VCFSE sector is involved in more decision-making groups, boards and programmes, with support for VCFSE representatives.

We will

• Put communities first and focus on their strengths and potential.
• Ensure diverse leadership, with leaders that help challenge unfair systems.
• Ensure people with lived experience are involved in decisions at every level. 
• Reduce barriers that stop small or grassroots groups from taking part.
• Build collective leadership that supports our shared priorities. 
• Support communities to own assets, such as community centres, in their area, or lead development projects in their community.
