Stronger Communities

Leicester’s One Leicester 25 year strategy includes the development of strong, thriving communities in Leicester as one of six key priorities.

To achieve the One Leicester vision of an attractive, green, prosperous and healthy city, we know that we have to make sure that services meet people’s needs effectively. But we also know that we have to make sure that our communities are supported and developed too, so that they are able to act positively to improve their own lives and those of others as well.

Our approach to developing stronger communities in Leicester has five main parts –

• Building community cohesion and preventing violent extremism (‘mainstreaming moderation’)

• Neighbourhood working

• Ensuring equality of access to services and equal outcomes for different groups, and managing diversity

• Supporting new arrivals to the city; and

• Developing a thriving third sector.
