Whitehill & Bordon

What you've told us

Our recent Community Investment review highlighted that our identified priorities were still relevant and needed within the community of Whitehill and Bordon, with 45 of the 47 responses agreeing with the identified focus areas which include:

• Work with partners to improve physical and mental health, specifically in young people.
• Promote community leadership
• Increase opportunities for training and development in the community space at Café 1759

Almost half of the respondents had taken part in an activity at cafe 1759, demonstrating the value of the projects, events and opportunities being offered here, but still giving scope to do more! 

Your priorities

When we asked the community what they would like us to focus on going forward, encouragingly the feedback provided a variety of suggestions, the top three shared were:

• More activities for all ages of children
• Improve transport links in the area
• Improve access to amenities to accommodate the growth in housing and increasing population

Other suggestions made from customers included more activities and opportunities for neurodivergent people, green focused projects such as Plant Swap, better recycling and mental health activities for adults.

Based on the feedback from the survey and the area priorities looking ahead, we will focus on:

• Activities for young people (with a mental and physical health focus)
• Opportunities to develop and promote community empowerment
• Increasing and diversifying use of the community space – providing services and activities for the community
