Through innovation and inclusion, we tackle transport poverty, boost wellbeing and empower all generations to thrive. Community360 are an independent, charitable infrastructure organisation whose aim is to inspire groups to seize opportunities and become more enterprising and sustainable. Established in 1968 to assist charities, voluntary and community organisations in Colchester and Braintree (30

0+) through any activities which provide representation, enable development, encourage liaison, nurture strategic partnerships and provide support to promote voluntary action. Our frontline services are developed in response to local needs and not only assist established community groups but are designed to address unmet needs, with project development defined by the communities we work with to improve their outcomes and life opportunities. These include Community Development, Community Transport, Shopmobility, Volunteer Centre, Timebank and Community Accounts. We signpost members of the public, provide training for low level skills, apprenticeships and volunteer recruitment. Groups receive assistance on fundraising, business planning, constitutions, policies/procedures, monitoring/evaluation and Quality Marks.

Great to see another successful meeting of the One Colchester Partnership Group, bringing organisations together to strengthen collaboration across Colchester.

As part of Pride Month, we were hosted by The OutHouse, who shared insights into their vital work supporting the LGBTQIA+ community. We also heard from When The Shift Ends CIC, Community360, and Reengage about the valuable support they provide across our communities.

The group also received an informative update from Colchester City Council on air quality, health impacts, and local initiatives, alongside partnership updates and current funding opportunities.

Thank you to everyone who attended and contributed.

Our engagement with communities actively involves all community members, including marginalised and under-represented groups in decision-making processes, initiatives, and activities that affect their lives.

We understand that for every individual to succeed, we must create spaces and opportunities that celebrate diversity and foster a sense of belonging. This inclusivity is not merely a goal but a fundamental aspect of our approach, ensuring that every voice is heard and respected.
