The Community Partnership Network, which comprises 15 community groups from across the NDC and surrounding areas, has been brought together by CPP’s Community Development and Youth teams in order to bid for joint funding.

To date, there have been three meetings and the group is now close to drawing up a draft collaborative framework, which will allow them to put together consortium bids and work in partnership with CPP’s successor body.

The network is also currently looking into procurement and commissioning opportunities within Lambeth Council, with a view to becoming a robust community and voluntary sector body for the NDC area.
