Voluntary Action Swindon is supporting Haydon Wick Parish Council to gather feedback from local organisations, operating and/or serving people within the parish area, to inform their parish's local Community Development Plan.  Voluntary Action Swindon (VAS) provide support for third sector organisations across the Borough of Swindon.

Haydon Wick in North Swindon, Wiltshire has over 21,000 residents. In the local area there are seven primary schools, shopping centres including the Orbital Shopping Park, community centres, gyms and churches. The Parish Council has 18 councillors whose main aim is to ‘work with the community for the community’. They are supported by a team of 15 employees, led by the Clerk to the Council.  

The five year Community Development Plan will set out the priorities for the Parish based on needs and informed by available data. The plan will influence how we spend our resources and seek additional funding to deliver projects to address the needs.
