Hello from Susie Hall, GPP Manager

I am Susie Hall Manager for GPP. My role is to support and facilitate the work of the 8 partnerships:·

• Children's Trust Partnership Board
• SaferPeterborough Partnership
• Environment Capital Partnership
• Health and Wellbeing Partnership
• Growth Partnership
• Community Cohesion Partnership
• Neighbourhood Regenerating Strategic Partnership
• Adult Learning and Skills

We hope that by partners working together from the public, voluntary, business sectors we can together better meet the needs of the whole community of Peterborough. In particular I am working with the Health and Wellbeing partnership, the Children’s Trust and the Adult Learning and Skills partnership, whilst also and coordinating the Value for Money (VfM) People strand of work. The VfM group is looking to develop the whole workforce of Peterborough to support the delivery of the Sustainable Community Strategy which has the overarching ambition to deliver a bigger better Peterborough.

We are also working on a number of new projects including the Back to Business Club, a networking and support group for managers and professionals who have been made redundant as a result of the economic downturn. The club meets weekly at Peterborough College of Adult Education from 2pm – 5pm every Thursday. For more information – click here.

We are also currently trying to secure income from the Future Jobs Fund to support the employment of young people – we should find out soon if we have been successful in this bid.
