Wigan Borough Partnership is the name of the Local Strategic Partnership for Wigan Borough.

Wigan Borough Partnership brings together many different organisations and individuals from the public, private, community and voluntary sectors to work together to improve quality of life for people across the borough.

How we work together

Over the last 12 months the national context for local partnership working has changed significantly and many of the national requirements no longer exist, including Local Area Agreements and Area Based Grants.  In July 2011, the Partnership Board agreed to new proposals for partnership working within the borough, changes which they feel will prove more effective for the services and organisations they are responsible for.  The changes agreed are as follows:-

• Replace the current LSP Board with a bi-annual Leaders’ Summit to set direction and shared purpose.
• Standing down of the current arrangements for Local Strategic Management Group. A membership of senior leaders and influencers will be retained to come together for facilitated debates about the big issues facing the borough, with an outcome focused approach to solutions and evaluation.
• Standing down of the LSP Advisory Group
• Development of  new Health and Wellbeing Board and Wigan Forward Board
• Development of new 3rd Sector Assembly
• Review of the statutory and non-statutory partnerships.

Over the coming months the pages on this website will be amended to reflect the new governance arrangements of the Partnerships.
