Goal 3: Everyone can be a dynamic participant in their community
Achieving this ambition would mean residents feel they have opportunities to volunteer their time to enrich their community and can feed into planning and service delivery in their area.
Commitments
Connect with, support, and advocate for groups, charities and organisations that represent their communities.
Through joint working with Volunteer Connect and OCVA (Oxfordshire Community and Voluntary Action), we will open the world of volunteering to more people and provide them with guidance and support.
Use Neighbourhood Plans and master-planning to reflect the connection between people and their places; enabling them to shape our towns and villages into places they want to live.
Suggested Measurements
Through locally based trusted relationships and networks the voluntary sector feels supported by CDC (Cherwell District Council), and can thrive (measured by an annual survey).
More individuals access volunteering opportunities (measured in partnership with Volunteer Connect and OCVA).
Number of Neighbourhood Plans or master planning initiatives successfully implemented.
