Equality and Sustainability Statements

Equalities Statement

Bournemouth 2026 is committed to equal citizenship and aims to deliver a community strategy that responds to the needs of the diverse community of Bournemouth.

Equality is a key value of our Sustainable Community Strategy and we recognise that all people must have equal access to information and services to ensure they can fully participate in society.

When we use the term "equality" we are referring to six aspects of legislation: race, gender, disability, sexuality, religion and age.

Throughout the development and implementation of the Sustainable Community Strategy and Local Area Agreement we have examined whether our activities discriminate against people, treat them unfairly or create barriers that prevent them from participating or benefiting.

To deliver equality of opportunity (equal opportunities) and treatment through the Sustainable Community Strategy we will ensure that equality and diversity remains at the forefront of the partnership’s agenda.

Sustainability Statement

Bournemouth 2026 is committed to developing sustainable lifestyles and ensuring efficient use of resources.

This means trying to meet our vision without compromising the environment for future generations.

To this end, we will put greater emphasis on long term costs and benefits rather than short-term gains, all projects will undergo a sustainability assessment.

(The partnership has also carried out an audit to ensure that the strategy did not conflict with wider sustainability considerations).
