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 ..............
