Ways to get involved in delivering the Community Plan
It’s not just down to organisations such as the Council, Primary
Care Trust and Police to deliver change in Barnsley! The
involvement of everyone is needed and here are a few ways in
which you can be involved;
- One Barnsley Forum
These are held three times a year and offer an opportunity for
people to get to know about what is currently high on the LSP’s
agenda, ask questions and help inform future delivery.

environment, skills and training, crime, health and employment
amongst other issues. They do so by carrying out local projects,
and activities.
