the Partnership
What are the aims of the North East Lincolnshire Third Sector Partnership?
The Partnership aims to unite voluntary and community organisations, charities, faith and equalities groups, social enterprises, co-operatives, mutuals and housing associations which provide services under the umbrella of the Third Sector in North East Lincolnshire.

How the Partnership operates
The key mechanism to put the principles and aims of the Partnership into action is the Third Sector Forum. Read more about the forum here.
Third Sector Organisations can become involved with the Forum, attend meetings, elect representatives and as appropriate participate in a number of Working Groups that have direct communication channels into the Local Strategic Partnership boards.
Within the Third Sector Forum a Pioneer Group operates to steer the direction of the Forum and encompasses those organisations willing and able to participate in significant activities within the sector.
The Third Sector Partnership as a whole is empowered and supported through the Third Sector Hub initiative operated by VANEL.
