Community and living

Staying safe and secure

We play a key role within the community, from offering grants to tackling anti-social behaviour. This section offers information on:

• how we support young people and the Youth Council, including details about our popular SNAP dance nights
• the amazing work that our Careline Centre offers to vulnerable residents. Acting as a lifeline to thousands across the district, our round-the-clock service and range of technology ensures that they can live independently in their own homes.
• halls and community centres with rooms available to hire
• the six community forums set up to discuss common issues and priorities
• community grants to assist the voluntary sector, help local people take action to address important issues in their areas and enable farmers and foresters in rural areas with local initiatives 
• safeguarding children
• crime prevention, including Neighbourhood Watch and community wardens
