What is the DT11 Forum Community Partnership?
The DT11 Forum Community Partnership serves Blandford town and the surrounding rural parishes within the DT11 postcode area. The forum's vision is 'To create a thriving, vibrant and environmentally sustainable future for the town and villages of the DT11 Forum area set in accessible and well managed countryside.'
The partnership currently has an active membership of more than 40 local groups and organisations, and it meets every other month in a variety of venues throughout the partnership area. All meetings are open to anyone who wishes to attend and regular reports on activities and projects provided at these meetings.
As a community partnership, the DT11 Forum brings together local town and parish councils, representatives from voluntary organisations, community groups, local businesses and residents in creative and innovative ways to solve local problems and concerns. It helps to develop projects to improve the economy, environment and local quality of life and services. The forum works by bringing organisations together, nurturing new initiatives and taking action where there are gaps and opportunities. Like the other community partnerships it also enables many people to get involved and contribute.
