HENFIELD COMMUNITY PARTNERSHIP LTD
DRAFT ACTION PLAN 2020-2025
 
In the Memorandum of Association of Henfield Community Partnership Limited, the objects of the Partnership are stated to be:

1. To help implement the actions in the current Henfield Community Action Plan,
2. To work together on issues and projects of interest and concern to Henfield and its surrounding communities in order to secure its long-term viability as a centre for social, business and cultural activities and to maintain its particular character and heritage,
3. To review progress against and update as required the Action Plan and to be aware of and incorporate arising community concerns where applicable.

 
The purpose of the Community Action Plan is to focus the minds of the management committee on the issues it anticipates being relevant; also, to be aware of and manage relevant issues and projects that have not yet been anticipated.
 
Henfield Community Partnership will produce an integrated plan, in collaboration with the Parish Council, to promote and enable the Health and Wellbeing of Henfield residents, businesses and the village as a whole. A community-centred approach to build on individual and community assets (skills, knowledge, social networks and community organisations) to mobilise community resources and energy to enable efficient delivery.   The aim would be to have full community ownership which will ultimately lead to longer term sustainability and community and individual resilience.
