NGDP partner councils

We are partnering with over a hundred organisations this year for Cohort 25 of the NGDP. We partner with many different councils across England and Wales each year, and the lists below indicate which councils we have partnered with in recent years.


Some councils are participating in local campaign alongside the national campaign. For councils that say ‘local’ next to their name, please visit the relevant council's website and search for 'local NGDP' for more information and to find out if you are eligible to apply as a local candidate.
