  5. LCC Strategic Plan - Priority Outcomes Strong Economy - Leicestershire’s economy is growing and resilient so that people and businesses can fulfil their potential. Wellbeing and Opportunity - The people of Leicestershire have the opportunities and support they need to take control of their health and wellbeing. Keeping People Safe - People in Leicestershire are safe and protected from harm. Great Communities - Leicestershire communities are thriving and integrated places where people help and support each other and take pride in their local area. Affordable and Quality Homes - Leicestershire has a choice of quality homes that people can afford.

  6. Communities Strategy Our Vision Our vision is to work together to build GREAT COMMUNITIES - by working together, the Council, Town and Parish Councils, local communities and partners can make a real difference to the quality of life of the people of Leicestershire. Working Together to Build Great Communities

  7. Our Priorities:- • Confident Communities - where Communities support themselves, individuals and families. • Cohesive Communities - where in collaboration with public services, communities are supported to design and deliver better outcomes. • Empowered Communities - where the Voluntary and Community Sector in Leicestershire is an effective provider of services that meets everyone's needs. • Supported Communities - where the council continues to be outward focussed, and open to new ways of working. Working Together to Build Great Communities

  8. Our Approach • An Increase in Volunteering – continue to support existing volunteering programmes and identify ways to enable more people to volunteer. • A focus on Social Action – acknowledging that when people come together and act, they can improve their lives and solve the problems their communities face. • An Asset-Based Approach – Harnessing the skills, knowledge, connections, physical assets and potential a community has. Working Together to Build Great Communities
