St Helens has been named one of 43 pioneer sites taking part in the new National Neighbourhood Implementation Programme (NNHIP) — an initiative aimed at strengthening collaboration and joint working within local communities across the country.
The programme will see local and national teams working together to develop new approaches to neighbourhood working, building on the strong foundations already established in St Helens.
Coaching support for the project will come from two key figures: Jeremy, a national coach representing the NNHIP’s central team, and Rachel, the local coach based in St Helens. Together, they will guide the borough through the implementation process over the coming months.
As part of the early stages of the programme, a 360-degree self-assessment is being conducted to gather insights into current levels of collaboration and partnership working across St Helens. Local partners and stakeholders are being encouraged to take part by completing a short online form, which will help identify both strengths and opportunities for improvement.
Responses will remain confidential and will only be reviewed by members of the national analysis team. The survey takes approximately five to ten minutes to complete, and the deadline for submissions is 31 October.
