Inclusive Society Group

The Inclusive Society Group (ISG) was set up in 2007 to focus the work on the Winchester District Strategic Partnership (WDSP) in achieving the Inclusive Society outcome.

The role of the Inclusive Society Group is to improve the quality of life of every resident of the Winchester district by encouraging an inclusive society in which every resident, especially the young and the elderly, the vulnerable and the marginalised, has a sense of belonging.

The members of the Inclusive Society Group work to:

• Take a genuine, strategic district wide view.
   
• Develop a good knowledge of Winchester District, in all its aspects, in order to effectively represent their sector.
   
• Have an inclusive concern for all residents, especially the marginalised and disadvantaged.
   
• Speak with the authority and support of their key sector partnership or organisation.
   
• Exert influence within their own partnership or organisation.
   
• Endeavour to attend ISG meetings and training events and to send a deputy in their place if they cannot attend.
   
• Champion and communicate the work of the ISG and WDSP throughout their sector, its partnerships and/or organisations.
