What services do we offer?

“Local people understand the needs of the local community best”.

TCEN works in a variety of capacities all of which promote democracy, community empowerment, involvement and active citizenship. We work both at a strategic and operational level delivering frontline projects within the community as well as being heavily involved in developing policy and informing strategy across Thurrock.

TCEN also prides itself as being a key facillitator and communicator between Public organisations (Council, NHS, Police) and the Voluntary, Community and Faith sectors. We are therefore ideally placed to:

 

  1. Lead and advise on consultations
  2. Support and Co-ordinate projects and organisations working in or with the (VCF) sector 
  3. Run training and induction programmes for both service providers and the public
  4. Organise, facilitate and run community events
  5. Signpost and communicate between service providers and residents with our network of 500+ organisations
  6. Manage strategic boards and focus groups
  7. Represent groups and organisations at the strategic level
  8. Share good practice
TCEN also ensures that under represented groups are able to participate. TCEN helps to organise thematic forums, and targets community and voluntary groups in Thurrock, bringing them together to discuss relevant issues.
