Following the most successful community engagement exercise ever held in the City, the Local Strategic Partnership (LSP) has developed a new structure - which is ‘fit for purpose’ - and capable of delivering what is being described as a “stimulating” Community Strategy for the City.
The ONE HULL Partnership structure reflects the “challenging” goals set out in the new Strategy in order to focus delivery on key priorities following a comprehensive consultation process.
As a City, we can only reduce poverty if local people realise the real benefits of working in partnership. By bringing together important partners to focus on providing job opportunities, improving education, and dealing with anti-social behaviour and poor health, local people can help improve the quality of life for everyone. It also ensures the partnership is ready to develop and deliver the Local Area Agreement and the Local Neighbourhood Renewal Strategy.
By working together in partnership, everyone - from individuals and community groups to businesses and large organisations - can play a part in transforming Hull into a vibrant, sustainable, 21st century city. A City that offers a good quality of life to all those who live in, work in, or visit Hull.

City PartnershipReturn to Stucture Diagram ^
The City Partnership sets the direction of ONE HULL, and publicly holds to account those charged with the delivery of the Community Strategy, through monitoring, evaluating and reporting on progress and outcomes against agreed targets and milestones.
City Partnership Membership and Selection
The City Partnership is a broad, open and inclusive partnership and, as far as is practicable, comprises of an equal number of representatives from organisations and agencies in the Public, Private, Voluntary and Community Sectors, which are actively involved in the City.
Members are expected to represent the breadth of opinion within their identified organisation, sector, community, constituency or partnership. Therefore, membership of the City Partnership is assigned to agencies, groups or organisations - not to individuals - on the basis that, over time, a wide range of local people have the opportunity to be involved directly in the Partnership’s activities. Membership is reviewed annually by each sector.
It is essential the membership reflects the characteristics and aspirations of the City and the opportunities for development identified in the Community Strategy.
Delivery BoardReturn to Stucture Diagram ^
The Delivery Board reports on progress to the City Partnership toward meeting agreed milestones and oversee and co-ordinate the delivery of the Community Strategy, Local Area Agreement and Neighbourhood Renewal Agenda. Members report progress to the City Partnership.
Delivery Board Membership and Selection
In 2005, a considerable regional campaign was launched to recruit ‘enthusiastic volunteers’ to become members of the new Delivery Board (please refer to Working as ONE Hull LSP Delivery Board Advert).
To make sure the LSP was representative of community life - and everyone was given an opportunity to have a stake in Hull’s future - open recruitment selected three new Board Members form the Private Sector and three new Members form the Voluntary, Community and Faith Sector.
The ambassadors for Hull now work with key leaders from the City’s public sector organisations, including health, Humberside Police and Hull City Council.
The important role ensures the six members act as advocates for local people and businesses – and strive to make the City a thriving regional centre. The experience of those chosen for this very important role is a great asset to ONE HULL in developing community cohesion action plans.
Membership, which is reviewed annually, reflects the characteristics and aspirations of the City and the opportunities for development identified in the Community Strategy. The Delivery Board will also draw on the expertise of advisers when required, and these can include:
- Learning and Skills Council
- Regional Development Agency
- Government Office for Yorkshire and the Humber
- Housing Market Renewal Pathfinder
- New Deal for Communities
- LIFT
