Our Vision
The Hastings Trust, a registered charity, has these aims:
• To enable those who live in, work in or visit Hastings to protect and enhance their environment
• To promote and assist the sustainable economic and cultural development of Hastings and its inhabitants
• To promote and disseminate good practice in conservation and community regeneration locally, regionally, nationally and globally
Our Mission
To create active partnerships between the public, private, voluntary and community sectors and to enable them to work together for the economic, culutural, environmental and social regeneration of Hastings.
Our Strategy
Hastings Trust has adopted a new Business Plan which focuses our activities on the five building blocks of a Community Anchor, built on foundations of financial sustainability and excellence in governance and management.
The five building blocks are:
• Asset acquisition, development and management
• Quality of life – environmental, social and cultural regeneration
• Routes out of poverty and worklessness
• Community development, cohesion and capacity building
• Lobbying, advocacy and partnership development
These building blocks will guide and focus our activity over the next four years, will reinforce our vision and mission, and will enable communities to be at the heart of social, economic, cultural and environmental regeneration.
