‘It’s not always about funding and resources; it’s about working better together. As we’ve got areas of common interest if we can just coordinate our services better and share information better, then we can improve things for people locally.’ ‘The success of our partnership is because we have very much concentrated on the things that we can do together and where we can add value together. If you concentrate on the things that you agree on, those things that you don’t agree on become solvable because you create a feeling of trust.
