Everyone living and working in the Edgbaston Constituency is entitled to a high quality of life and effective services that meet their needs. That is why the Edgbaston Strategic Partnership has been set up to co-ordinate the actions of the wide variety of organisations working in the area, to improve the overall quality of life for present and future generations. One element of this is the production and implementation of a Constituency Community Plan that complements the City's Community Strategy, which is a statutory requirement under the Local Government Act 2000. This Plan has been prepared together with other organisations and communities. Its aim is to improve people's social and economic wellbeing.

About Our Edgbaston

Our Edgbaston is a venture driven by the aims of the Edgbaston Strategic Partnership, to help local Community, Volunteer and Faith based organisations reach out to each other and local residents. Each group has access to its own information "live" on the database, through an individual password and a web-based interface. What this means in practice is that interested individuals within each organisation get the opportunity to outreach as much as they are able, promoting group events and posting news items, with the support and training provided by the Our Edgbaston team.
