Welcome to the Pentagon Partnership

Welcome to the Pentagon Partnership

Pentagon Partnership is the strategic partnership for third sector involvement in the economic regeneration of the Tyne & Wear City Region.

As well as raising the business and partnership skills of the third sector through monthly networking events, we act as the interface between the sector and the new Tyne & Wear City Region governance structures, which make important economic decisions about the City Region (Tyne & Wear as well as parts of North Durham and South Northumberland).

Pentagon Partnership carries out its functions in three ways:

Capacity Building – increasing the business awareness and partnership-readiness of the sector.

Consultation and Representation – giving the sector a say on City Region policies, facilitating and supporting the third sector representation on decision making partnerships.

Information – informing the sector of the latest City Region and economic policy developments.

PNE Development, in conjunction with Mosedale Gillatt Architects (MGA), Development Trusts Association (DTA) and Pentagon Partnership, is offering a one day taster ‘Introduction to Capital Development’ workshop.
