The Friends of New Forest Village (the Friends) was established by the creation of a constitution in April 2012.
Under the terms of that constitution (which governs the way the Friends operate) the Friends hold regular meetings to:
-
Promote and protect the interests of the residents of New Forest Village
-
Bring residents together to discuss and debate views on a wide range of issues affecting the area
-
Represent decisions of the residents group to various agencies / bodies delivering services in the area
- Facilitate residents’ participation in the decision-making processes that affects them
Please get in touch if there is anything you would like to raise at these meetings. The Friends are happy to do so on your behalf, but strongly encourage you to attend yourself.
The Friends also host events designed to bring the community together. In the past they have run events at Halloween, Christmas and Easter, as well as a summer family fun day.
In order to run events, as a constituted group, the Friends are able to apply for funding from various sources reserved for community projects. They do, however, rely heavily on the generosity of volunteers, so please do let us know if you would like to get involved in future activities.
The Friends are here for the residents of the NFV, so if there is anything else you would like us to raise funds for, or any other issues you would like us to raise at our meetings, please let us know or, better still, come along to the meetings.
