St George Community Network Update 1

(Originally sent to our email list 7th June 2017)

The Network is the new organisation that will take over some of the activities of the St George Neighbourhood Partnership. Although the Network will work closely with Councillors and Council Officers, it will be run entirely by local residents.

You can read more about the aims of the organisation and how it came about on the St George NP website at www.stgeorgenp.org.uk/a-new-start The article includes links to notes of past meetings and a paper ‘Building strong communities where we live’ published last month by the Council setting out the support they propose to give to organisations like ours across the city.

There is also an excellent article about the Network written by Tamsin in this month’s edition of the St George & Redfield Voice – you can see the article here: www.twitter.com/SGRVoice/status/871824443202514944

We are holding a public meeting at St George Library at 7.30pm on Wednesday 21st June to tell people about the new organisation and how they can get involved.

This will be followed by a meeting on Wed 5th July (also at the Library) where a committee will be elected.
