Halton Together is a network that enables voluntary and community groups to have a collective voice at all levels. It belongs to YOU - the community. It does not belong to the council or to Halton Voluntary Action. Becoming a member has so many benefits.

Halton Together
will

• Provide you with information
• help you to identify key issues and develop solutions (eg paying for surveys, meetings, consultancy and advice)
• provide training/capacity building and support to enable participation at all levels
• provide resources to enable you to inform other groups about your activities and to learn from each other’s best practice
  
  Will develop
  
• A fair election system to allow local people from the community and voluntary sectors to be elected onto the Halton Stategic Partnership, its sub-groups and other partnerships and boards.
  
  Will ensure that
  
• Representatives are accountable to the Network
• YOUR views are heard
