A Community Strategy is a plan for the future.
It provides a long-term vision and co-ordinates the actions of the
public agencies and private and community organisations to meet the
needs and priorities of local communities.
The aim of the Community Strategy is to look forward ten to fifteen
years and make plans to enhance the quality of life of local
communities. It should contribute to the achievement of sustainable
development in the UK through action to improve the economic, social and
environmental well-being of the area and its inhabitants.
In November 2005 the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership (KCP) published their second community strategy entitled ‘The Future Of Our Community 2005-2015: The Second Community Strategy for the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea’.
You can read the strategy online. You can also download it as a PDF document or as separate PDF chapters:

Why another strategy?
There are at least as many strategies and plans as there are partnerships in
Kensington and Chelsea!
The Community Strategy is a new enterprise - but it does not start with a
blank sheet of paper, as existing plans and strategies have been researched and
consulted upon.
The Community Strategy does not sweep these aside, but looks further ahead,
seeking to ensure a consistent approach between the various plans.
The single content of any strategy can have wider implications beyond its
traditional professional boundaries. For example, the Primary Care Trust's Local
Delivery Plan refers not only to core health matters, but also reflects upon
related community safety and environmental issues.
By considering the long-term implications of pursuing current approaches, the
Community Strategy encourages agencies to plan and work together to achieve
better outcomes for the community.

organisations involved in the Kensington and Chelsea Partnership, take a look at
