Cross Cutting Networks

For 2009, the CEN are funding 15 community networks whose work is decribed as ‘cross cutting’ in that they do not fit neatly within one of the five priority work areas and Boards of Team Hackney: Children and Young People, Better Homes, Thriving Healthy communities, A Safer, Cleaner place to live and Economic Development.  Click here to find out more about these community networks

Safer Young Hackney Network

In July 2009, the CEN organised an event bringing together people from VCS groups who provide support to divert young people away from committing youth crime.  Out of this came a need to form a network of community providers working in this area.
