KPWCDT

The Trust itself is a partnership and has representatives of many local organisations and bodies on its Board or as members.

The Trust is pleased to have established good working partnerships already with agencies such as R.M.B.C, English Partnerships, Yorkshire Forward, Voluntary Action Rotherham, “Regen School” and the Development Trusts Association. We recognise how important they can be to both the Trust and the villages and will strive hard to sustain them.

We also recognise and value the local partnership arrangements that already exist with Kiveton Park Youth and Community Centre, Red Road Music and Radio Project, The Multi–Media Project, Wales Parish Council, and other local groups who we work with collaboratively. We have also been involved in a multi partnership/agency initiative to write the Parish Action Plan. The growing reputation of the Trust has been enhanced by its ability to engage in constructive and meaningful dialogue with all these partners. Further development of the Trust and its projects will require us to strengthen these partnerships further as well as developing new partnerships.
