We’re proud to share our Impact Report 2025-26 – showcasing another year of delivering meaningful outcomes for the public sector and the communities it serves. As organisations navigate increasing financial pressures, Local Government Reorganisation, and growing demands on services, the report highlights how we’ve worked alongside our partners across England and Wales to deliver practical solutions and lasting impact.

As a publicly owned, in-house delivery partner, our role has never been more important. From supporting climate resilience and improving energy efficiency to enabling local government transformation, unlocking infrastructure opportunities and improving outcomes for communities, our teams have helped organisations tackle complex challenges with confidence.

The Wales Annual Impact Report 2025 showcases the successes we have helped our clients in Wales achieve across renewable energy, waste management, housing, infrastructure, procurement and more.

It demonstrates how we enhance and strengthen public services by turning Welsh Government priorities and policy into action. The report illustrates the value and efficacy we have delivered for Welsh communities.

Welcome to our comprehensive Review of Benefits of Insourcing, a detailed report produced by Local Partnerships. We extend our thanks to the Local Government Association (LGA) for sponsoring this work.

New research – LOOKING TO 2050: The future of local government – finds devolution alone does not guarantee success for local areas.
Councils need clarity, coherence and a long-term plan from Government to deliver devolution at scale.

The report, from the LGIU (Local Government Information Unit) and Local Partnerships, concludes that a model of governance which improves regional economic outcomes, supports housing growth, tackles inequality, embeds fiscal sustainability and strengthens climate resilience can be built – but will require a purposeful design of roles, responsibilities and long-term direction.

Our Impact Report 2024-25 is here

We are proud to share our Impact Report 2024-25 – a reflection of another remarkable year at Local Partnerships. This report captures the breadth and depth of our work, and the tangible difference we’ve made across England and Wales.

As a publicly owned, in-house delivery partner, our role has never been more vital. Against a backdrop of financial constraint, climate urgency, and systemic reform, we’ve continued to bring clarity, capability, and confidence to the public sector. Our teams have delivered measurable impact – whether by supporting climate resilience, helping councils transform, unlocking infrastructure opportunities, or enabling local leaders to improve lives in their communities.

This year’s report illustrates how deeply embedded we are in the real-world challenges our partners face – and how we consistently help them rise to meet them. It also celebrates the growing strength of our partnerships across central government, the LGA, the devolved administrations, and local authorities.

We invite you to explore how we’ve made a difference – and how we’re helping shape a better future, together.

A new report, Empowering local climate action: Advice to government, published by the LGA and developed by Local Partnerships sets out advice on how to build collaboration between the UK Government and councils to deliver on the shared ambition for responding to climate change.

New Stable – Unlocking the Power of Pensions to Solve the Housing Crisis and Boost Local Growth

Local Partnerships is proud to sponsor New Stable, an important new report from Localis that explores how the Local Government Pension Scheme (LGPS) can be a catalyst for tackling the affordable housing crisis and delivering sustainable local economic growth.

In a time of intense financial pressure on local authorities, this report delivers bold, practical ideas for how public pension wealth can work harder for communities—while protecting long-term financial integrity.
