Welcome to the LSP Futures Network website!

LSP Futures is a national network of Local Strategic Partnerships in England. Our aims are to:

  • Provide a national LSP practitioner-based network to inform government strategy, policy and practice; and
  • Provide a national network to discuss ‘Futures’ issues, share and disseminate good practice, and for LSPs to learn from one-another

We are an independent organisation that is driven by the membership.  We work with government and other national and regional organisations to influence and inform emerging policy ideas and develop effective ways of implementing them.

 

Read more about LSP Futures' ongoing activities in our July 2008 newsletter, which provides an update of the Steering Group, summaries of recent events and details about the programme for the rest of the year and information about member resources.
