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.
