Community Development

What Does the INFRANET Do?

To Ensure community and voluntary sector  involvement and engagement with Newcastle Partnership (Local Strategic Partnership or LSP), in November 2005 the Partnership agreed a clock of NRF money to go to four infrastructure support organisations.  The organisations are:

• NCVS: Regen Forum

• EDDCA

• WECDC

• CEN

Under the banner of the "INFRANET", these organisations are co-ordinating their efforts around the following goals:

• To develop the capacity of/and access for communities and voluntary organisations to making informed and effective contributions as equal partners in the governance of the city

• To work more effectively together: sharing resources, skills and cross-sector working

• To ensure that the community and voluntary sectors fully participate in the work of the Newcastle Partnership

• To ensure effective and appropriate involvement of voluntary and community sectors in regeneration activity in the City
