Winchester District Thriving and Resilient Communities Strategy
This Thriving and Resilient Communities Strategy sets out our approach for creating stronger, more resilient communities across the district through to 2030 working alongside our diverse communities.
This strategy sets out how we will work alongside communities—large and small, urban and rural—to build places where people feel connected, confident and able to thrive.
We have set out five pathways that will guide our work.
- Social connection, inclusion and belonging
- Community capacity and local leadership
- Access to community assets, services and opportunities
- Supporting people facing the toughest circumstances
- Strong community networks and partnerships
These pathways reflect what residents, community organisations and partners told us they value most, and where the council can play a meaningful role. Our ambition is to support communities, so they feel empowered to lead local solutions, build strong networks and take advantage of opportunities as they arise.
By delivering this strategy, we aim to create the conditions in which our local places and people can thrive — socially, economically, culturally and environmentally. By 2030, we want to see communities that are more connected, more confident and more resilient — places where people feel a sense of belonging, where local assets flourish, and where residents can live healthier, happier and more fulfilling lives.
