We lobby, campaign and work for change, The partnership oversees 'Task Groups' which each look at a specific area of our community Task Groups are forums where residents, community groups, business people and agencies such as the Council and Police work together to improve services and the quality of life for all in St Pauls. For many people the groups have been a place where we have learned a lot about the way services are provided, the rules and regulations and in many ways there have been clear changes in the way agencies work as a result.

If you live and or work in St Pauls you are very welcome to come along to the meetings.
