Birchfield Big Local partnership is a year old. Most partnership members are local residents and they take decisions in line with the Big Local Plan which was agreed after extensive consultations with local people. Another key role for partnership members is building relationships with the diverse community groups, organisations and businesses in the area. The partnership has a Chair, Vice-Chair, Treasurer and Secretary. Elections were held in August and the following people were elected unopposed:
Dr Rhonda Lee – Chair
Claudette Dawson – Vice-Chair
Dorrette Hanson – Secretary
Tina-Brown Love – Treasurer
Local people are welcome to join the partnership. There is a straightforward membership process. Partnership members are expected to sign up to a code of conduct and an agreement with the Local Trust who manage the Big Local programme nationally. We also have an accountable body Birmingham Voluntary Service Council who administer the funding on behalf of the partnership and ensure that the proper financial controls are in place.
