In 1995 a series of six Area Regeneration Frameworks (ARFs) were created within Sunderland, each looking at a particular part of the city - Sunderland North, South, East, West, Washington and the Coalfield.  The aim of each Framework is to provide a clear and comprehensive summary of regeneration policies and activities for that area.  The exact boundaries of these areas were revised in summer 2004 and Census data for the revised areas is now available.  

Frameworks provide an important means of co-ordinating resources and directing them to areas of greatest need and opportunity.  They guide the allocation of Strategic Initiatives Budget (SIB) funding and also help attract external funding.  They are an integral part of planning and policy setting within the City, and will contribute towards fulfilling the aims of the City's Community Strategy.  Each Framework area is made up of several adjoining electoral wards, and so represents a fairly large sector of the City.  

Data from the 2001 Census has been compiled to give a picture of the communities living in each of the Framework areas which can help to identify needs and inform policy-making.  You can use the links below to view fact cards giving census data about each of the six areas.  We hope to also make a map of the Framework boundaries available here shortly.  Information about smaller, more specific areas of the City can be found on our Sunderland Ward Fact Cards page.
