Following the approval by the Government of the Hastings Neighbourhood Board 10yr Regeneration Plan in March 2026, we are pleased to welcome Kevin Boorman, Independent Chair of the Hastings Neighbourhood Board, supported by Josh Broadway, Pride in Place Programme Manager, to our HCN event to deliver a presentation about the community services in Hastings where the money will be invested. There will be a Marketplace where you can bring information leaflets etc about the work of your organisation and the chance to network with other attendees. There will also be the opportunity to take part in one of four workshops looking at partnership working, building trust across roles, organisations & communities, strategies for managing challenges and different expectations, and identifying mechanisms for sustaining collaboration.
