1. to attract more funding for community groups and community-led projects in Irvine
2. to support the work of community groups with our technical skills and contact networks
3. to involve more young people in community work

5. to support the local business community
6. to promote Irvine regionally, nationally and internationally
7. to support the wishes of the community to have more local control over public services in Irvine
