The Trafford Partnership Conference on 5 July inspired Partnership members and community representatives to raise the bar of Partnership working and strive to achieve more together.
The Conference was attended by more than 250 people from the Police, Fire Service, Council, Housing Trust, Primary Care Trust, Groundwork, community, environmental and voluntary groups and the private sector, to name a few. The new Point venue at Lancashire County Cricket Club provided a brilliant backdrop to the event.
Delegates were truly inspired as they heard moving personal tributes from residents who had been the beneficiaries of successful Partnership projects. These included the rapper who educates young people about the pitfalls of violent gangs, the pupils at Seymour Park school who have been enriched by the development of Centenary Gardens, the young offender who had been given a break in life through the Housing Trust’s Clean Start programme, the women who are now participating in sport and physical activity and the brilliant musician who had benefited from the Mental Health Personal Budget.
The Conference also enabled the Partnership as a whole to get to grips with some of its most challenging cross-partnership issues from health inequalities to carbon emissions. This was done through a series of workshops and provided partners with a clearer direction on how it will tackle these issues.
In the afternoon delegates were treated to a spectacular motivational speech from Olympic High Jumper Steve Smith. The Silver medalist motivated us to raise the bar of partnership working and left delegates wanting to strive to achieve more to reach our Vision.
More information on the Conference including photo’s, details of the success showcases, follow-up from the workshops and the speeches will all be posted shortly on the website.
The next Partnership Conference is due to take place early next year.
