Nine organisations have signed a new agreement at Lancaster Castle pledging to work together to improve the lives of the local community.

The organisations signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) on Monday to create a new Lancaster District Strategic Partnership (LDSP).

Founding organisations include Lancaster City Council, Lancaster University, the University of Cumbria, Lancaster and Morecambe College, Lancaster and Morecambe Chamber of Commerce, University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Foundation Trust, Lancashire and South Cumbria Integrated Care Board, Lancaster District CVS and Lancaster Arts Partnership.

Through the partnership, the founding member organisations will work together to improve the Lancaster District aligned to agreed strategic priorities – sustainability and the climate emergency, the economy, health and wellbeing and communities - aiming to deliver mutually beneficial local and regional projects by identifying and developing new opportunities for collaborative working between sectors. It also aims to maximise how organisations use their combined resources effectively to improve the Lancaster District.

“The partnership provides the perfect opportunity for Lancaster City Council to strengthen the good working relationships it already has with its partners," said Councillor Peter Jackson, Lancaster City Council’s cabinet member with the responsibility for communities, wellbeing and partnerships.

“Via the LDSP, we’ll be able to identify and explore more opportunities for joint working and utilise our combined skills and knowledge to drive sustainable change that will have a positive impact and make this area a more prosperous place to live, work, and invest in.”
