Key Initiatives

Tring Together's Community Action Plan splits into six key initiatives:

Cleaner & Greener - Making Tring a more pleasant place to live in
Growth & Prosperity - Supporting a vibrant town economy
Pride in Our Heritage - Conserving, remembering and celebrating our past
Fun & Games - Encouraging positive use of leisure time
Travel & Tourism - 'Enjoying the Chilterns'
All Together Now - Enabling major community events

Each initiative is headed by a Sponsor, selected from the Management Committee, whose responsibility it is to initiate new projects within their area of work. The sponsor, supported by the Project Officer, will recruit a working group of volunteers, often involving other organisations, to implement the project.
