Is BSWN working alone in this field?
We are part of a nationwide government-led initiative to rebuild communities economically and socially throughout the UK, and work with our own specific social and geographical sector as part of this.
We have specific responsibility for the BME Sector within the SW and also take a lead on Online Communications Technology (OCT) in the region.
We work regionally with the South West Forum and the IDP (Infrastructure Development Partnership), representing the specific requirements of the BME alongside the mainstream community.
This high-level responsibility has put BSWN in the best position to keep the concerns and needs in the forefront of economic and social development process – needs such as access to better housing, better employment prospects, training civic participation and inclusion and reducing isolation.
Actively opposing discrimination and supporting the human rights of all people living in the SW.
