North Belfast Partnership

One of the most striking features of North Belfast is the depth of community division and inter-community tensions that exists in this part of the city. A legacy of the troubles is that the area is described as a patchwork of small communities, often separated by walls and peacelines, in which people have an intense sense of belonging.

It is against this social and economic backdrop that North Belfast Partnership seeks to promote a regeneration agenda to tackle the causes of deprivation and social exclusion that affect the lives of so many people living in North Belfast. The North Belfast Partnership has outlined in its strategy its priorities for improving regeneration locally and its commitment to work in partnership to reduce deprivation and its impact on people and their communities.

The Partnership’s strategic mission is:

“North Belfast Partnership will bring people and government together to make North Belfast a place that people and communities will want to live and work in.”
