Partnership working in Waltham Forest - Local Strategic Partnership (LSP)

What is the Partnership?

Founded in 2001, Waltham Forest Together is the Local Strategic Partnership for the Borough of Waltham Forest.

The LSP brings together the public, private, voluntary and community sectors in Waltham Forest for the purpose of working together in order to improve the quality of life for the people of the Borough through the provision of better services. The improvements sought include better educational achievement, more skills, more and better employment, less crime, better health, business growth, an improved local economy and a better environment. The agencies responsible for those services are on the LSP. One particular goal is that people should not be disadvantaged by where they live and so there is a special emphasis on narrowing the gap between the most deprived neighbourhoods and the rest. This is being managed via the Better Neighbourhoods Initiave.

The partnership has overseen the development of the Community Strategy for the Borough and also the allocation, monitoring and management of the Borough’s allocation of Neighbourhood Renewal Funding (NRF).
