The formation of the Local Partnership Board was driven forward by Duffryn Community Link. The Chair (Joe) has been recognised as the Community Champion for Newport. As such he sits on many of the strategic partnerships including the Children and Youth, European and the Overarching Partnership Board (Newport).
The Local Partnership Board has signed up to the ideal of local delivery of services. Initially these services will serve the Duffryn area and wider community. This type of approach will ensure that services are of high quality and effective in addressing the needs of the area. The Local Partnership Board is made up of representatives living or working in the area. The partnership is made up of a third community, a third voluntary and business and a third statutory organisations as stipulated in the Communities First guidance.
The Partnership has representatives on 5 working groups. These groups were set up to look at various issues as stated in the guidance; Jobs and Business, Education and Training, Health and Well Being, Environment and Community Safety.
Details of all sub group meetings are available in the Newsletter from the office and all sub group meetings are open to the public - please come along.
