How does Hyndburn Community Network get involved with the local Strategic Partnership?
The Network provides the LSP with several members ensuring that the community, voluntary and faith sectors are able to contribute to decisions made about local issues and service delivery. Outcomes of issues talked about at the LSP and the contribution made by Hyndburn Community Network will be reported back to our membership in the Network newsletter, eBulletins and website.
