North Belfast Partnership

North Belfast Partnership promotes socioeconomic regeneration in north Belfast to reduce multiple deprivation and improve the well-being of local people.

North Belfast Partnership was established in 1997 under the Making Belfast Work Initiative along with four other Partnerships across Belfast and seeks to promote social and economic regeneration in north Belfast to address the causes of deprivation disadvantaging many local people and their communities.

The Partnership has a Board of representatives from across the local community, private and political sector and has identified four key areas as the focus of its development work, through its Strategic Regeneration Framework:

• Leadership and Community Cohesion
• Maximising Land Use and Connections
• Neighbourhood Vitality
• Education, Skills and Enterprise

The Partnership supports regeneration through the Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy led by the Department for Social Development, facilitating it across north Belfast's five Neighbourhood Renewal Areas.
