The Havant Diversity Network Forum was launched in April 2009. Since then the Network has been a useful tool for teams, agencies and organisations, providing services in the area to better meet the needs of the local community.
This has been done by:
Originally the Network was principally supported by HBC and HCC ; however the Network has evolved since 2009, to being supported by several agencies across Havant to act as a pool of local and professional knowledge that is shared and utilised.
An important part of the HDNF is to have an increased understanding of the communities in Havant; with that a positive service can be provided, increasing the well being of the community and their confidence and engagement in the services they access.
