The Private Sector has a pivotal role to play in Community Economic Development as an integral part of Regeneration.There is a link between business competitiveness, social inclusion and facilitating cross-sectoral partnerships for all stakeholders.

The Private sector with their voluntary sector partners can mobilise resources and funding to ensure community assets exist to support youth organisations and their sustainability, by adding value to statutory commitments that ensure that all young people are able to access learning, skills and employment opportunities in their local communities and neighbourhoods.

The ultimate goal is peaceful, caring and Enterprising neighbourhoods.
