Shaping the future of Newcastle

Advisory Groups

We have two advisory groups in respect of issues that are of importance right across all of the Delivery Partnerships: ICEE (Inclusion, Cohesion, Equality and Empowerment) and Culture. Details of their remit and membership are as follows;

ICEE Inclusion, Cohesion, Equalities and Empowerment

The main functions of the group are to:

  • To advise and assist the Partnership and its members on matters concerning Inclusion, Cohesion, Equalities and Empowerment
  • To ensure these issues have a high profile in the Partnership, that agreed strategies are implemented effectively, and that the work is effectively mainstreamed.
  • To be responsible for the key ICEE LAA indicators
  • To promote the engagement, development and empowerment of communities and individuals so that they make a significant contribution to achieving the SCS outcomes.

Culture Partnership Group

The main objectives of the group are:

  • To ensure that the cultural agenda is appropriately reflected in Newcastle City Council’s key strategies, including the Sustainable Community Strategy.
  • To identify creative solutions in order to maximise the contribution that culture can make to address Newcastle’s priorities and challenges.
  • To champion the importance of a broadly based cultural agenda, that promotes community cohesion and the building of social capital and resources.
