A learning network for local government dedicated to partnership-working and community-led, place-based regeneration

 

  • Sharing the latest research

  • Fostering innovative best and next practice

  • Supporting peer-learning and collaboration

3ni builds on the learnings from local government pioneers, evidence from past regeneration programmes, and the recent experience of the Big Local programme: a first-of-its-kind initiative that puts power, resources and decision-making into the hands of local communities.

The network is aimed at those officers working in local government and other public sector agencies in areas such as regeneration; community or economic development; neighbourhood management; community safety, health and wellbeing; policy, research and strategy; or in area-based service delivery.

3ni was set up by Local Trust in 2024 and is now led by our partners at Capacity.
