New Deal for Communities (NDC) is a Government funded regeneration programme. There are 39 NDC partnerships in total across the country with the problems of each NDC area being unique. However all NDC's tackle five key themes:

• Crime
• Education
• Health
• Housing and the Environment
• Jobs, Training & Local Enterprise

Doncaster NDC has been allocated £52 million until 31st March 2011 to invest in the following five areas of Doncaster:

• Nether Hall
• Balby Bridge
• Hyde Park
• Hexthorpe 
• Balby, Woodfield

The underlying strength of the scheme is that it has been shaped by community views and aspirations and is being delivered in partnership with key agencies.
