the services provided. To contribute to the health of the people of
New Brighton and its environs by ensuring that sufficient opportunities

Community Centre Network
One of
the positive aspects of the 'new' Community Planning process has been
the realisation that only by working together in a strategic way can
Communities benefit. An example of this is the Area Forums, Wirral
Community/Voluntary Sector Network, Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)
and Neighbourhood Renewal, to name a few. It has been agreed to explore
these ideas by Liscard, Vale and New Brighton Community Centre's maybe
through a 'Community Centre Network' and to look at funding packages,
best practice and other associated linkages
The Community
Association has been in existence since 1976 and has been in the present
building since 1981. It has traditionally always spoke up and campaigned
on behalf of New Brighton. Its present role within the 'new' Community
Planning process, along with its new building and ICT provision means
it is well equipped to continue in that role and take the lead to
meet the challenges ahead for the Centre.
Further
with the Centre's obvious experience and knowledge as a platform for
public opinion in New Brighton it has been envisaged that the meetings
could be extended to include the wider community, to enable local
issues to be discussed and acted upon through the extensive network
(see below) now at its disposal. It's a simple, straightforward and
effective structure for local residents.
The above
chart briefly explains those links and puts into perspective the role
that the Association can now play as a grass roots body 'that makes
things happen.' The Centre now has a marvellous opportunity through
a clearly defined route map and reporting mechanisms to develop and
expand on its current role.
The Community
Association is only as strong as its members. This last year has seen
a united front with members working together determined to achieve
that vision that they set course on over 2 years ago now. It's a tribute
to all members for their perseverance and determination to achieve
that goal. NOW THE HARD WORK BEGINS ..............
