Empowering a thriving community.
Henfield Community Partnership (HCP), set up in 2005, is a not-for-profit, private company limited by guarantee without share capital. Its aim is to enhance the wellbeing of the Henfield Community and its surroundings. By working together, we can shape a community where everyone has the chance to contribute, grow and flourish.
We are led by a small executive team, supported by a network of affiliates who manage specific initiatives and members who take an active interest in local happenings, suggest project ideas and can be called upon to lend a hand when support is needed.
Everyone in the community can be a member, whether you live in the area or work for a local business. All are welcome to attend our Affiliates Meetings and AGM. Membership is free and belonging gives the opportunity to discover more about the Community Partnership and the work we do.
