Q.

I am presently looking at possibly piloting a joint Liverpool City Council and partner agencies PB event in a district of Liverpool (6 wards). Most of the partner agencies are the usual i.e. police, PCT, RSL's etc. Do you know if a joint partner agency has been devleloped elsewhere?

A.

A partnership approach makes sense, particularly in this current economic climate of limited resources. Partnership working enables you to share knowledge, expertise, resources, and to obtain match or pooled funding for the pot of money to be allocated by PB.

Examples of partnership led initiatives include Tower Hamlets, Norfolk, Tameside, Stockport, Acorns (Scunthorpe), Southampton, and Eastfield (Scarborough). If you would like any contact details please contact us directly via email or phone.
