Welcome to the National Empowerment Partnership in Yorkshire & the Humber

The National Partnership Empowerment (NEP) has been set up to improve the quality, co-ordination and evidence of empowerment across England. 

NEP will:

• Demonstrate the difference community empowerment can make to individuals, community groups, communities and public agencies
• Develop effective methods of quality assurance for community empowerment
• Promote examples of good practice across the country

Most of this work takes place at a regional level. COGS is co-ordinating the regional programme in Yorkshire and the Humber. The partnership in this region has two key bodies working with COGS to ensure more strategic, co-ordinated and improved empowerment activity and practice: the Consortium of Partners and the Regional Community Panel.
