Thriving Communities Strategy workshops

As some of you may know, the Council is currently working on a new Thriving Communities Strategy to cover the period 2019 to 2023. The strategy will begin by setting out a shared understanding of what a Thriving Community looks like, and go on to define what the council, residents and voluntary sector groups can do to help achieve Thriving Communities in Hounslow.
Some of you took part in workshops earlier this year run by independent organisations MEL Research and Rocket Science, which sought your views on the CouncilÂ’s current approach to community engagement and how we work with the voluntary and community sector. The information from these workshops is being used to inform our draft strategy. We would now like to invite you to take part in the next stage of developing the draft strategy, via a series of workshops which will ask whether we have correctly reflected your views, in particular on what makes a Thriving Community and what the priority areas for the strategy should be if we are going to achieve this for Hounslow.
Three workshops have been arranged for community or voluntary sector groups over the 16 and 17 October.  You can book a place using this link:
