Community Partnership

Royal Borough of Windsor & Maidenhead Vision Statement

"The Royal Borough - a place where everyone can thrive in a safe and healthy environment, take an active part in decision making and continue to learn and develop throughout their lives."

We all recognise that no one organisation alone can make wide reaching improvements to the economic, health, social and environmental well-being of the Royal Borough, and it is only by working together that we can make a real difference to the quality of life for everyone in the borough.

Local organisations, communities and businesses must work together to meet the challenges which a modern community faces.

To achieve this ambition we have a 'Community Partnership' (which are commonly referred to as 'Local Strategic Partnerships'). The Partnership is non-statutory and multi-agency, and matches the borough boundary.

Our Partnership brings together at a local level the different parts of the public, private, community and voluntary sectors; allowing different initiatives and services to support one another so that they can work together more effectively to:

promote a better quality of life
use our resource more effectively
bring new resources into the Royal Borough
produce higher quality services
improve the health and wellbeing of everyone living or working within the borough

Joint working at local level should ensure a greater chance of success in delivering sustainable economic, social and physical regeneration, and improved public services, that meet the needs of the local community.

To enable joint working the Partnership has signed a Local Area Agreement.

In working to achieve this vision the Partnership will be guided by four principles:

Supporting Children & Younger People
Supporting Adults & Older People
A Thriving, Cleaner, Greener Borough
Safer & Stronger Communities

To progress these principles and deliver the overall aims five Ambition Groups have been established which are responsible for delivering the ambitions of the Partnership.
