The Local Strategic Partnership 

The Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) aims to bring together the public, private, voluntary and community sectors to work together to improve the quality of life for all who live, work in and visit Camden.

The Camden Community Empowerment Network (CCEN) provides a voluntary and community sector voice at the LSP through elected CamdenCEN LSP representatives. In addition to CamdenCEN there are four thematic, strategic partnerships, and three other groups that feed into the LSP and have voluntary and community sector members.

The current structure of the LSP is under review. Find out more on the CamdenCEN Meetings page or Whats New page
