Business

Newlands Community Association (NCA) began its life in 1996 when it was established as a focal point for the many local community groups in the Newlands area. NCA was a member of the steering group with successfully bid for SRB funding for the period 1997 to 2004. The funding was administered during this time by the Newlands Partnership Board (NPB).

The NPB felt that it was essential to invest in major assets which would provide long term income to be available to the Newlands community after the life of the SRB fund. In 2004 Newlands Community Association was designated to continue the work of the NPB.
