| Welcome to the Pentagon Partnership |

Pentagon Partnership is the strategic partnership for third sector involvement in the economic regeneration of Tyne and Wear.
A partnership of third sector infrastructure organisations, community networks and other third sector organisations from across Tyne and Wear, we aim to encourage sustainability and enterprise in the sector, working with a range of partners to share good practice around enterprise, collaboration, asset development, public service delivery and impact measurement.
We also act as the interface between the third sector and the Tyne & Wear City Region, a cross-sector partnership formed in an effort to address some of the key challenges such as generating more sustainable economic prosperity and delivering greater economic inclusion facing Tyne and Wear, Northumberland and Durham.
We carry out our functions in three ways:
