Introduction

Somerset Council works closely with our Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise organisations either independently or in Partnership. We aim to build lasting relationships with these organisations and communities. We will aim to work in partnership to reduce the burden on our equality Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise organisations.

Working in Partnership

The Somerset Equality Partnership will be a collaborative partnership between the public bodies in Somerset and the Voluntary, Community, Faith and Social Enterprise organisations that support people from the protected characteristics, where we learn, understand and work together to face the challenges that our communities are facing, by using lived experiences, knowledge of current issues and the work that the group is doing in local communities, to see how we can overcome, collectively, the problems faced.
