By building partnerships with a wide range of local organisations that specialise in different fields, we attract skills, expertise and knowledge which bring benefits to you, your family and your community.

Rather than attempting to replicate the excellent work of others, Colne focusses on working with our partners to help them expand their services and ensure that they involve local people in shaping what they offer.

Some of our community partners include:

• Firstsite
• Colchester Garrison
• Integrated Youth Service
• Bounce Workshops
• Colchester United Community Sports Trust
• NACRO
• CVS

“Colne’s community development officer has helped us to develop new ways of working which really connect with local people and inspire them to get involved.”
