Community Inclusion Partnership Group

• Stronger, more connected and resilient communities
• Shared understanding of the challenges and opportunities
• Increased collaboration and commitment to working together

What do we do?

We are a local forum of statutory, voluntary and charitable organisations who work together. Our key objectives include information sharing, identifying local priorities and gaps in provision. Our priority aim is to focus on a joined-up and collaborative approach, working toward positive outcomes for all in the borough of Welwyn Hatfield.
