Welcome To Shaping Thurrock

Shaping Thurrock is the Local Strategic Partnership for Thurrock. It has been established since 2002 and undertook a revitalisation of its partnership structure in 2005. Shaping Thurrock aims to bring together the leaders of strategic organisations and representative networks in Thurrock.

The Shaping Thurrock Board will:

• Provide strategic leadership;
• Make key decisions (where supported by constituent organisations); and,
• Ensure effective partnership working across organisations and networks within the Borough.

Shaping Thurrock will work for the benefit of Thurrock's businesses and citizens and will shape the Thurrock vision - the Community Strategy - and the key priorities to make it happen.

Some of the key responsibilities of Shaping Thurrock include:

• Approving the Community Strategy for Thurrock and being responsible for the review of progress on the strategic priorities and targets.
• Achieving greater alignment between the corporate and business plans of partner organisations and the Community Strategy.
• Working in partnership to achieve maximum benefit to Thurrock from the many sources of funding - both mainstream and external - available.
• Promoting the engagement of all Thurrock's people and communities in decisions about the future of the borough whilst ensuring that the views of traditionally under represented groups are obtained.
• Undertaking an ambassadorial role for the borough and promoting the image of Thurrock outside its boundaries.
