Community Cohesion

The Community Cohesion Team facilitate and manage projects that develop people's sense of belonging in their local communities and improve access to relevant services. Projects aim to reach marginalised equalities and newly arrived communities, and include equalities training, antihate crime awareness, South Gloucestershire Faith Forum, education taskforces.

We also facilitate a multi-agency Community Cohesion Action Group, and partners work collaboratively on a Community Cohesion Action Plan.
