'What We Stand For' Policy Statements

Our Vision

At Communities 1st, we are committed to amplifying the collective voice of our members and shaping policies that reflect our shared values and vision. By uniting our voices, we can influence local strategies and ensure the needs and voices of our communities are prioritised.

We therefore undertook an initiative to publish “What We Stand For” policy statements covering ten critical areas which reflect the real experiences and knowledge of those working within our communities.

These policy statements reflect our shared aspirations and address the challenges our communities face. They have been enriched by the diverse contributions of our member organisations with whom we extensively engaged via our Stronger Together Networks, Policy Focus Groups, and direct feedback, making them both representative and impactful.
