Presenting a professional, united front to commissioners - Lancashire Third Sector Consortium for mental health

A partnership of mental health organisations in Lancashire is aiming to develop capacity and improve service delivery to users and carers. Building a solid infrastructure for partnership working is key to the development of the new consortium. Much work has been done to develop a strong model for collaboration, to enable good practice to be shared and enhance organisations’ ability to secure delivery contracts.
