Neighbourhood Training and Resource Centres
Annual Review 2007
The Neighbourhood Alliance is proud to announce another very successful year in which we were able to help residents, local service managers and regeneration practitioners access high quality training and support services across England.
A review of the services we provide was commissioned, enabling our stakeholders to view our achievements, which spread across a range of programmes and initiatives offered to support current and emerging national, regional and Local Government agendas around Local Area Agreements, improvement and efficiency.
Beyond training, we also facilitated regional networks, organised study visits and offered technical assistance with regards renewal project design and implementation. We managed busy events and seminar programmes in partnership with regional and national organisations.
