City Partners Group
The City Partners Group comprises leaders of key anchor institutions from across Bristol.
This is an informal group that meets regularly to collaborate on projects that will benefit citizens of Bristol and share news and questions from their own sectors and networks.
The main benefit is that partners can share information and new possibilities with those from networks they would not normally meet, for example, in a roundtable discussion that brought together Trust staff, BCC Directors, Care Home Directors and workers in Health and Social Care we were able to widen the discussion to other Partners such as City of Bristol College and First for their perspectives.
City Partners is not a Thematic Board and it does not have any voting or formal power; it exists to aid collaboration throughout the city.
