LGA Sector Support Offer 2025/26 peer mentoring, top team development, and bespoke governance support for authorities in structural change

Co-operatives UK:  for cooperative economy models, mutual ventures, and employee ownership structures that can shape how your new authority commissions and partners

Mutual Ventures: LGR as Radical Place Leadership: practitioner analysis of what distinguishes unitary transitions that deliver from those that disappoint
