Shaping Portsmouth

Transforming Portsmouth Together Our mission is to create sustainable collaborations and innovative programmes which make Portsmouth Britain’s premier waterfront city in which to invest, live, learn, work and visit. We run programmes covering three areas managed by our part-time staff and nearly 200 volunteers: Business: We facilitate inclusive growth across the entire city, making sure we represent every facet of the diverse groups that make up our Business community, and promote the successes of the city so we can continue to demonstrate that Portsmouth as a vibrant place to start and grow a business. Education: We work collaboratively with city partners and employers to deliver a range of inspiring programmes that enable residents of all ages to explore their future, develop their skills and be connected to Portsmouth’s diverse labour market. Community: From veterans to care leavers and beyond, we’re giving Portsmouth’s citizens the support they need to succeed, and also encouraging residents to give back to the city they call home.
