Pioneering local authorities around the country are experimenting with different ways to address the complex challenges their communities face. By moving attention and resources upstream of service delivery, they are exploring how they can help create the conditions that enable citizens to thrive.

To do this they are adopting new ways of working - new operating models - that acknowledge the complexity and interconnectedness of social issues and the people and organisations that aim to tackle them. Join us to hear how members of the Upstream Collaborative are adopting new operating models that enable them to rewire their relationships with communities and partners.
