Partnership working for safer, stronger, healthier communities.
The Neighbourhood Network (NN) takes a multifaceted approach in working towards safer and healthier communities for all. Collaboration is essential as it brings together diverse skills, resources and perspectives to address complex social challenges more effectively. By partnering with local organisations, businesses, residents, and public services, the NN can build trust, reach more people, and create joined-up solutions that support the needs of those engaging with charity.
