History
The Southern Brooks Community
Partnership (formerly known as Patchway & Bradley Stoke Community
Development Project) was set-up over 12 years ago, as a partnership
between the community associations in Patchway and Bradley Stoke, and
Northavon Community Council.
In 1999, the project became a registered charity and our core funding is
through a service commission with South Gloucestershire Council and
grant funding from both Patchway and Bradley Stoke Town Councils. The
project has a management committee of Council Members and local people
and we are always keen to hear from anyone who lives in the towns and
would like to get involved. We are a membership organisation.
Membership is free and open individual or group that takes place in the
two towns, or associate membership is available to people working for
the local authority or other statutory agencies.
International Day of Tolerance -
Community Lunch
For several years the Southern
Brooks Community Partnership has been working with Bradley Stoke Town
Council to hold regular community meals. We try to theme the
events, to bring people together around a common interest.
There were significant concerns by those working in the community about
increasing levels of racial abuse. The Partnership against Racial
Harassment was also concerned at increased levels of hate crimes in and
around Patchway and Bradley Stoke. Pauline Hawker-Bond, Head of
Communities for South Gloucestershire Council, agreed to Chair the event
to bring people together to begin to discuss how we can work together to
improve the quality of life for people in this area.
