Aims And Objectives

Pennine Prospects exists to raise the profile and develop a positive image for the South Pennines through a dynamic, innovative and forward-thinking approach – based on a strong ethos of partnership working, and focused on delivering achievements to support sub-regional strategies as they are developed.

The core objectives of Pennine Prospects are to:

  • Provide leadership, strategic integration and partnership co-ordination
  • Support the development and delivery of projects
  • Develop funding initiatives
  • Raise the profile of the Southern Pennines

We are able to:

  • Lead and coordinate funding bids and manage project finances
  • Work with other organisations to maximise the use of different skills to develop action on the ground
  • Lobby for recognition of the needs of the area and its people
  • Develop a range of actions appropriate to the conservation or advancement of the South Pennines

Pennine Prospects will succeed by involving and working with as many interested people as possible. We can reflect concerns, gather and share information, develop action plans and support action on the ground. The company was conceived to be a participatory organisation, owned and controlled by a membership that comprises a range of interests and authorities concerned with the revitalisation of the South Pennines.
