๐ Pride in Place Seacombe โ Community Board Update ๐
This Friday, we'll be meeting to discuss the Community Board and the next steps for Pride in Place Seacombe.
Firstly, a huge thank you to everyone who applied. We have been genuinely overwhelmed by the quality, passion and commitment shown in the applications. There are so many incredible people who care deeply about Seacombe and want to play a part in shaping its future.
As we move forward, our aim is to keep the Board community-focused and resident-led. We want local people at the heart of decision-making, while also making sure we can draw on the skills, knowledge and support of local organisations and services.
One of the ideas we're exploring is creating themed community groups that can feed directly into the Board. These could include:
๐ณ Environment & Green Spaces
๐จโ๐ฉโ๐งโ๐ฆ Youth & Families
๐ Health & Wellbeing
โช Faith & Community Connections
๐๏ธ Housing & Regeneration
๐ค Inclusion & Community Support
This would allow many more people, groups and organisations to get involved, share ideas and help shape projects, even if they are not formal Board members.
Pride in Place is about bringing communities together. The Board is just one part of that. Real change happens when residents, volunteers, community groups, local services, businesses, schools, faith organisations and partners all work together towards a shared vision for Seacombe.
We're excited about the journey ahead and look forward to sharing more updates soon.
