Country to county: Regional data collaboration that drives better outcomes for residents With tightening local government budgets, regional restructures, the creation of shared services and increasingly complex resident needs, organisations need to find more efficient ways to collaborate and drive better outcomes. Organisations are finding ways to develop impactful poverty prevention by joining forces with neighbouring authorities and local support organisations such as utilities and charities, by sharing data, insights and best practices. This webinar will explore tangible examples of how regional collaboration has provided better outcomes for residents across Scotland, Wales and England. By working together, these organisations are moving from reactive crisis management to a proactive, whole-system approach. We will cover: • Driving take-up at scale: How Scottish and Welsh authorities are using regional frameworks and legal gateways to maximise income and lobby for systemic change. • Breaking down silos and fostering impactful collaboration: We will demonstrate how current counties, countries and those transitioning through LGR are sharing best practices and discussing successful initiatives with neighbouring authorities to identify hidden vulnerabilities, adopt proven interventions, and improve operational efficiency. • Multi-sector partnerships: How to build a bridge between councils, utility companies and charities (such as the British Gas Energy Trust) to streamline support and reduce debt. Whether you're aiming to strengthen your regional network, navigate a seamless transition through LGR, or harness your local data more effectively, this session offers a practical guide to achieving collaborative success.	29/4/2026j/n/Y	10:30am BST2026-04-29T09:30:00Zg:ia T	1 hour	Register
