Pendle Community Cohesion
A Place Where Everyone Belongs
Pendle is a borough built on shared values, diverse communities, and a strong sense of belonging. At Pendle Borough Council, we believe that a cohesive community is essential to making our borough a welcoming, safe, and successful place for everyone—no matter their background, culture, age, or belief.
What Is Community Cohesion?
A cohesive community is one where:
- Everyone shares a common vision and sense of belonging
- Diversity is not just respected—it’s valued
- People from different backgrounds have similar life chances
- Strong, positive relationships flourish in workplaces, schools, and neighbourhoods
Cohesion is about fairness, connection, and working together to build a better future for all.
Our Community Cohesion Strategy 2025–2028 sets out how we aim to support integration, reduce inequality, and create lasting connections between people across Pendle.
Join the Conversation
Cohesion starts with conversation. We’re creating more ways for residents to engage with council decisions, shape their neighbourhoods, and help build a stronger Pendle. Whether through community events, local forums, or online tools, your voice matters.
