The Member organisations of the Alliance believe that more can be achieved for Worcester by working together than working alone. Together they have formed a vision – to make Worcester ‘a First Rank Cathedral and University City’.

The main vehicle for achieving this vision is the Worcester Forward - the Sustainable Community Strategy for Worcester. This strategy contains the outcomes the Alliance desires for Worcester, all of which will improve the lives of the people who live in, work in and visit Worcester. Some of these objectives have been agreed with the Government at a countywide level and form part of Worcestershire’s Local Area Agreement (LAA) and Worcester’s Local Development Framework (LDF). Others have been decided on after consultation with people and organisations in Worcester.

The four priority areas for 2010 are:

  • Focusing on Warndon and Gorse Hill wards, our 'areas of highest need'. 
  • Urban Renaissance, in particular by developing a 'Masterplan' for the city centre
  • Addressing economic and transport needs
  • Tackling the causes and effects of climate change and building local resilience
