Hastings Borough Council (HBC) is in the process of drafting a new Housing Strategy for the town. This will be a five-year strategy with the aim of adoption by the Autumn 2025. It will set out how HBC will meet their ambition for everyone in the town to have a decent place to live. HVA are working with HBC to facilitate a session for community organisations to comment on the draft strategy.
Book yourself a place to take part in this important conversation.
MECC (Making Every Contact Count) is a practical introduction to the skills in talking to people about the issues they are concerned about or the changes they are seeking to make. It is all about supporting people to identify and access the things that could help them. So if your work brings you into frequent contact with people and you want to improve the likelihood of making a real difference this training could be for you. A light lunch will be provided.
