3ni: The Neighbourhood Improvement Network

Bringing together local government and the wider public sector to drive meaningful, lasting change in the neighbourhoods that need it most.

A network that makes a difference

At 3ni, we believe that real transformation starts from the ground up. We’re sharing and shaping the best and next practices that help strengthen and rebuild disadvantaged communities across the country.

3ni is a new social value partnership

Our research, events, and activities are designed to support local government and public sector partners in learning what works—and, more importantly, putting it into action.
