East Sussex Strategic Partnership (ESSP)
East Sussex Strategic Partnership (ESSP) brings together different parts of our local community - public services, local businesses, community groups, voluntary sector organisations and local people.
It was set up in 2000 to help organisations and individuals work together in a co-ordinated way to plan local services, tackle the issues that matter to local people and improve quality of life in East Sussex .
