How the Council can help

There are a range of ways in which the Council, and other agencies, can support and help you to develop your Community Plan. These include:

• General support and guidance through the process
• Grants to develop and implement your Community Plan
• Provision of statistics and information on your area
• Advice on designing questionnaires and surveys
• Printing of surveys, questionnaires and finished plans (at a subsidised cost)
• Assistance with a housing needs assessment
• Creating a website to support and publicise your community plan
• Finding and retaining volunteers

There are three key documents that form a package to support and guide you through the community planning process:

1. ACRE Parish and Community Planning Toolkit (summary available here - full version available from Community Action Hampshire)
2. Winchester Community Planning Guidance (download available at the foot of the page)
3. Winchester Community Planning Protocol (download available at the foot of the page)

Other guidance is available that relates to specific issues. Click on the topic below for more details:
