The first meeting of the Community Partnership Forum was held in July 2003 and proved such a great success that Forum meetings are now held three times a year. The Forum provides a great opportunity for members from all of the Community Partnerships to learn from each other and share ideas.
A whole range of topics have been covered at past Forum meetings, these include:
- Town centre corporate development
- Diversity training
- Building good relations with people of different faiths and beliefs
- Health: stopping smoking, healthy eating and exercising
- Welfare rights promotion and quiz
- Information on the local development framework
- The role of the Community Development Worker
The agenda for the Forum meetings comes from suggestions put forward by members of the Community Partnerships.
The last Forum in April 2008 celebrated Community Partnerships' achievements over the past 5 years. The next on will be in the Autumn. Watch this space for details
