Partners with the community
Medway Council works in partnership with 148 local
organisations, collectively called the Medway Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) including:
- those representing business;
- voluntary and community groups;
- the emergency services (Kent Police and Kent Fire and Rescue
Service);
- the health services:
Providing services for all
The council's Community Interpretation
Service can help agencies communicate with people who do not
speak English and ensure that Medway's ethnic minority families
have equal access to services from both statutory and voluntary
organisations.
It is vital that all of Medway's local communities, some of
which are among the most disadvantaged in the south-east, benefit
from the regeneration of Medway in terms
of more better-paid jobs and an improved quality of life. The
council's Social Regeneration and European
Affairs Service takes a co-ordinating role working with local
residents, community organisations, the voluntary sector and other
public service providers on projects that will make this
happen.
Countering deprivation, supporting self-sufficiency and
combating discrimination in all its forms, working actively to
ensure equal access to jobs, services and active citizenship are
core values of the council that shape
the way services are provided to the community.
Supporting community groups
Medway Council's libraries hold information about the community and voluntary
groups, while the Corporate Funding Unit
has ideas and advice about winning funding from trusts and
foundations for projects and groups in Medway.
