Community empowerment network
Community Empowerment Networks are being established as a link between the community and voluntary sectors and the Local Strategic Partnership in each of the 88 most deprived local authority areas in England. This is to help community and voluntary sector groups, particularly those that are marginalized, to get more involved in decisions concerning how public services are delivered in their area. They will be set up by a 'lead organisation' from within the sector using funding from the Neighbourhood Renewal Unit's Community Empowerment Fund.
