partnerships

Partnership working is a collaborative approach in which The Well Communities co-produce with partner agencies, and individuals to achieve common goals and outcomes for the local communities who use our services across Lancashire and Cumbria.

Partnership working

Substance misuse cuts across a variety of social issues such as mental health, domestic abuse and homelessness. We understand the importance of contributing to regional strategic programmes to maximise resources, share knowledge and have a greater impact in communities. We work collaboratively with a range of agencies in the NHS, criminal justice, social service, education and voluntary sectors.

We also work closely with members' families and we see them as key partners in the delivery of our services.
