Working with your local council

Some of our most fruitful partnerships are with local councils and local authorities. We are a gift to them.

We are a movement that empowers engaged citizens with a passion to create kinder, more confident, more connected communities. The local council holds the democratic mandate to work for the good of all citizens and we are ideal partners for them. When those relationships are establish on a mutual vision and on mutual trust they flourish. Just like working with business it can take some time to get to know each other and to work out the best ways to work together.

This section helps you to understand how to map and approach stakeholders and how to open up a conversation that is mutually beneficial. Like everything else at Incredible Edible, in each place people create the Incredible recipe with their own flavour – there is no one size fits all solution.

This section helps you to work out ways to connect with and partner with your local authority. In times of tough social circumstances and hard pressed budgets there is no better time for us to be working together with our local authority in order to create communities in which we can all grow and flourish. There are lots of tips here and if you need any more support get in touch with the Incredible Edible national team who have lots of experience in navigating these relationships to get the best result for everyone.
