More is coming
Socitm Inspire is your new home for research and resources to help local public service professionals
Your institute was launched in June 2023 at President’s Conference in Brighton. It will provide you with more insightful, impactful, and actionable research and resources.
You know that the list of challenges facing local public service providers is not getting shorter!
- Budget pressures at a level not seen before
- Difficulty attracting, recruiting, and retaining staff
- Insufficient capacity to deliver the volume of change needed
- A need to access supportive communities of practice to learn from each other
- Lack of access to reliable independent data to make informed decisions
All of this ambition is wrapped up with Socitm’s ongoing transition to acquiring charitable status. Becoming a charity aligns with the attitudes and ambitions of our people and organisation since we were founded in 1986.
