Our commitment to community groups
We've signed up to the Buckinghamshire compact, which is an agreement between local government organisations (like councils, primary care trusts and the police) and the voluntary and community sector. By signing up, we agree to follow good practice and work together as partners to help the people of Bucks.
You can find out more about the compact from the National Compact website below.
