02 Purpose and work
What the charity exists to do
Our strategy centres on three linked priorities. First, it will strengthen social and economic connections by running regular activities that reduce isolation, supporting local businesses through events like farmers’ markets, improving transport and active travel links, and creating a vibrant community hub and shared workspace. Second, it will celebrate local history and enhance the environment by recording and sharing village stories, adding heritage and nature-led features such as interpretation boards, planters, and parks, and offering hands-on ways for people of all ages to enjoy and care for nature. Third, it will build a strong, transparent, sustainable Community Development Trust, with an engaged and diverse board, robust governance and volunteer systems, responsible financial management with diversified income, and clear communication that evidences impact to the community.
