Gosport Borough Council works in partnership with a diverse range of voluntary and community sector organisations which provide both opportunities and services to Borough residents and visitors alike.
The Council understands its role as part of the fabric of the local community and not an entity outside of it. Working in partnership helps us to improve our understanding of local issues and local needs and the opportunity to draw upon the expertise and knowledge held by committed staff and volunteers of local groups to address local concerns.

Compact for Gosport
The Council is pleased to be a signatory to the One Compact for Hampshire and the Codes of Good Practice which serve to recognise and strengthen the commitment of statutory and voluntary and community sector organisations to work together.
Hampshire Voluntary Sector Consortium
(HVSC) are currently consulting on their proposal to revise the One Compact for
Hampshire. Agreed in 2004 the Compact outlines the relationship between the third sector and
public bodies allowing them to work more effectively together. HVSC are proposing to revise the document inline with the revised National Compact and would like your
views. If you would like to take part in this consultation please visit Community Action Hampshire's web site. The consultation period ends on Friday 9 July 2010.
