The Oadby & Wigston Compact

"The Oadby & Wigston Compact is an agreement between local Government, the voluntary and community sector and other local Public bodies of the Borough of Oadby & Wigston to improve our relationship for positive outcomes within the local community."

The purpose of the Compact is to:

Improve communication, common understanding, ways of working together, trust and respect between the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Statutory Sector.

Set a framework for effective consultation, representation and partnership working including an agreement on definitions, shared values and joint and distinct undertakings.

Set out ways for developing working relationships between the Voluntary and Community Sector and the Statutory Sector.

Act as a reference document and a process for monitoring and evaluating the quality of those relationships and partnership working at all levels.

Support and reinforce the application of value for money ("Best Value") principles in the relationship between the Statutory and Voluntary and Community organisations.

This Compact was signed at Voluntary Action's Annual General Meeting on the 12th October 2005.

Directories

We currently have two directories that are available for public use:
The Self Help Directory which gives information about local groups, charities and organisations. This information is generally a contact name, address and telephone number and if it is a group, where and when they meet.
The Community Facilities Directory gives all the information you require for hiring a room/facilities in the Oadby and Wigston area.
If you go to our Directories section of this website you will be able to down load the Community Facilities Directory.
If you require a copy of the Self-Help Directory please contact us direct and we will send you one.
