North London Partnership Consortium

What North London Partnership Consortium does

North London Partnership Consortium (NLPC) Limited is a UK private limited not-for-profit, founded in 2004 and headquartered at 177 Park Lane, London N17 0HJ. Its mission is the renewal and regeneration of North London communities through employment support, skills training, and capacity building for the voluntary sector. NLPC operates a multi-brand portfolio: Inspire Recruitment Solutions (REC-member recruitment and HR outsourcing), Inspire Care Agency (domiciliary visiting, live-in, respite, and enablement care across five North London boroughs), Inspire Security Training (SIA-accredited Door Supervisor, CCTV, Close Protection, and First Aid courses), and CIRU (Community Information and Research Unit) for community research and consultancy.

The core business model blends public sector programme management with trading income. NLPC acts as lead accountable body for consortium projects funded by the Greater London Authority (GLA/ESF), Haringey Council, London's Violence Reduction Unit, the Community Fund, City Bridge Foundation, and Youth Futures Foundation, delivering flagship programmes such as the Haringey Higher Level Skills (HHLS) Project, Homecooked (Tottenham Hale), Home Cooked Northumberland Park, Youth Echo, and Hope Arise. Revenue is also generated from training course fees (Phlebotomy at £799, SIA Close Protection at £850, Door Supervisor at £170, First Aid at £60-£180, care modules at £10), recurring domiciliary care billings (£8.72-£10.50/hr), and recruitment placement fees. Service delivery is anchored in a 1-10 employee team supported by an extensive partner network that includes Haringey Council, Bridge Renewal Trust, Tottenham Hotspur Foundation, Mind In Haringey, Father2Father, and The Godwin Lawson Foundation.

NLPC's go-to-market is community-led, with distribution through direct service delivery at Park Lane, community outreach across Haringey and Enfield, partner referrals, and a self-serve e-learning shop. The technology platform is a web-based service delivery system with integrated learning management, event management, and e-commerce capabilities. The customer base spans unemployed and underemployed individuals, young people aged 14-30 (including ex-offenders), employers seeking workforce development, and voluntary and community organisations requiring capacity building.
