The purpose of the Suffolk Strategic Partnership is to establish the long-term vision and priorities for Suffolk. In an ever changing environment, emerging trends and changes in government policy have required the partnership agenda to move forward both nationally and locally, highlighting the importance and effectiveness of local agencies tackling issues together to achieve better results and greater efficiency.

The Suffolk Strategic Partnership has undertaken the task of putting together the Community Strategy to reflect the changing priorities and ambitions for the county over the next twenty years.

‘Shaping the Future of Suffolk’ is a consultation document intended to start the debate on where we want our county to be in the next twenty years. It presents eight emerging themes summarising the key challenges, opportunities and possible actions. These have been designed to stimulate comment and discussion that will help to identify and shape the content of the new Community Strategy.

The Suffolk Strategic Partnership recognises the importance of spirituality and faith in the lives of our citizens and would seek to encourage and support this as a fundamental part of well-being, health and positive outlook. The Suffolk Strategic Partnership will also encourage community participation in delivering the ambitions of the strategy by promoting active citizenship and empowering local people to take ownership of challenges in their community and will support them in dealing with those challenges.
